Guest guest Posted March 18, 2001 Report Share Posted March 18, 2001 I use it with Zantac, sometimes a little Claritin and always with Doxepin in the evening. Don't have to use as much Doxepin as before. I went from 150mg to 25 to 50mg a day with the Zyrtec. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 how can a person tell what type of MS do they have. i started out with double vision it left, then came like tunnel vision, and muscle weakness and extreame fatique, which most left except the fatique esp in the summer or under stress. that lasted for about 20 yrs then 3yrs ago i found out it was MS due to a MRI, and the weakness got worse so if i walk over a block my legs go to sleep, i use an electric chair now and the pain is bad i use to use MJ for the pain cause the meds the neurolist gave me caused alot of weight to be put on. and i have the 'pins and needles' in the feet and hands 90% of the time now, but now one told me the type of MS i have and don't know how to tell the difference, i have a heart condition and the dr says it is due to muscle weakness. i don't know much about MS and am stupid when it comes to it. i know more about my bi-polar or ADHD [which i want a hyperness or a mania come on but all i got is depression now] i need to clean my place and organize but i don't have any energy to do it. i do see the neurologist on Mon i saw him in Oct of 2004 to get diagnosed and saw him one time in 9005 but not since then. i just want the pain and i am having time with what word to use when i talk i do have a speech impediment which doesn't help. it is only a lisp and a slight studder but when i get under stress it gets worse and lately it seems like it is happening all the time i use to be able to type what to say without a problem but now my fingers don't even want to type the letters it feels as if they are frozen but i am warm, my fingers just don't want to move. later k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Please ask your neurologist when you see him on Monday. If you have a hard time remembering things (or even if you don't) then write a short list of questions and the problems you are having. You said you used to use MJ for the pain. Do you not use it it longer? If you still need it please ask your neuro for a new script. Were you using the actual MJ itself or one of the prescriptions available in Canada?Please let us all know what your neuro says tomorrow. hugs)))SharonHere is some information for you from http://www.webmd.com/multiple-sclerosis/guide/how-disease-progressesMultiple Sclerosis: How the Disease Progresses How Does MS Progress? The course of multiple sclerosis varies for each person. Because of this uncertainty, doctors often tell their patients that they "probably" or "possibly" have MS. Your diagnosis is based on the combination of problems, patterns of recurrence, which systems are impaired and your test results. There is no way to predict how each person's condition will progress. It often takes years before a doctor can be certain of an MS diagnosis and have some idea on how the disease will progress. There are four courses that MS takes: Relapsing-remitting MS: characterized by unpredictable acute attacks, called "exacerbations," with worsening of symptoms followed by full, partial or no recovery of some function. These attacks appear to evolve over several days to weeks. Recovery from an attack takes weeks sometimes months. The disease does not worsen in the periods between the attacks. This pattern usually occurs early in the course of MS in most people. Primary-progressive MS: characterized by a gradual but steady progression of disability, without any obvious relapses and remissions. This form of disease occurs in just 15% of all people with MS, but it is the most common type of MS in people who develop the disease after the age of 40. Secondary-progressive MS: initially begins with a relapsing-remitting course, but later evolves into progressive disease. The progressive part of the disease may begin shortly after the onset of MS, or it may occur years or decades later. Progressive-relapsing MS: This is the least common form of the disease and is characterized by a steady progression in disability with acute attacks that may or may not be followed by some recovery. People with progressive relapsing MS initially appear to have primary progressive MS. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40, but the unpredictable physical and emotional effects of the disease continue throughout the person's life. What Is a True Exacerbation (Relapse)? A true exacerbation of MS is caused by an area of inflammation (swelling) in the nerves of the brain and spinal cord system followed by something called demyelination, which is the destruction of myelin. The myelin is the fatty sheath that surrounds and protects the nerve fibers. Demyelination results in the formation of an abnormal area called a plaque within the brain and/or spinal cord. A plaque causes the nerve impulses to be slowed, distorted, or halted, producing the symptoms of MS. One example of an exacerbation of MS would be the development of optic neuritis, an inflammation of the optic nerve (which is in the back of the eye) that impairs vision. An exacerbation of MS may be mild and not cause a noticeable impairment in functioning or may significantly interfere with a person's daily life. Exacerbations usually last from several days to several weeks, although they may extend into months. Exacerbations or relapses of MS are often treated with medications called corticosteroids. These drugs reduce inflammation. It is generally accepted that taking corticosteroids for a short amount of time will shorten an exacerbation and/or reduce the severity. What Is a Pseudoexacerbation? Sometimes an increase in symptoms has nothing to do with the underlying MS, but is caused by factors such as fever, infection or hot weather that can temporarily aggravate MS. This is referred to as a pseudoexacerbation. For example, some people report a worsening of their symptoms during or after periods of intense stress. What Is Remission? A remission does not mean that all the symptoms of MS disappear, but rather that a person with MS mostly returns to the way they were before the last exacerbation or relapse began.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 In the last two to three months I have suffered from spasticity as well, this morning was one where I woke up and could barely move..I do not know if it is because I live a very sedintary lifestyle since I became sick, or as a reaction to some of my meds, or my conditions..Who knows anymore..I am a giant guinea pig.Shirley wrote: I had MS symptoms and no lesions for atleast 4 years. I din't get my first "seen" lesion until I had a BAD exasperation. I couln't strighen my bopdy out due tp spasicity. Sorry for the spelling. My crohns disease asted up bad last night; I lost 3 lbs last night from shitting all night. Don't give up. Keep see uyour docs. I'd write more but I don't have the enerfy, Good lukk Shirley Hi, is it possible for a person to exhibit Neurological symptoms associated with MS, without actually having any lesions? For any of you that have already been diagnosed, did you have lesions on your first MRI..If not, about how long before you start seeing lesions appear...I know that MS affects everyone differently, but I just needed to ask..Trista <tabeloe37yahoo (DOT) com> wrote: At least I'm in good company! LOL.Val Lee <a1manladyyahoo (DOT) com> wrote: Whoa, Trista!~ I thought I was the only one who did things like that. I went to the store with my daughter one day. She drove. When we came out of the store, I started to get in someone else's van. I was so embarrassed. I was reading through this entry again. I wonder why some of the words came out looking so odd. Makes for some hard reading. It wasn't like that when I posted it. Love and blessings.. ValTrista <tabeloe37yahoo (DOT) com> wrote: Val, I can relate to these. Once a few months ago I went shopping. I put the key in the van door and it wouldn't unlock the door. I got so frustrated and felt like uttering some swear words. I looked up and saw an elderly couple staring at me looking concerned. I tried the key again, then glanced inside and saw a diet coke can in the drink holder. My DH only drinks Diet Pepsi. It FINALLY dawned on me that it was the wrong van. The elderly couple started laughing, and I felt like an idiot. LOL. Val Lee <a1manladyyahoo (DOT) com> wrote: I pulled this off of one of my friends blog entries. I thought it was pretty funny. True, but funny. Love and blessings... Val @};- You know you have MS when... Your four-year-old is better than you in memory games. You face-plant into the floor and only afterwards you think, �gI�fm falling!�h You tell your daughter to go to bed (in the garage) at 9 PM. You�fre on the phone with a dear friend and can�ft remember who the heck she is. ____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ You pay the phone bill twice because you can�ft remember that you paid it the first time. (Yep, done that) You forget to pay the electric bill and your power gets turned off. You realize you sent the electric bill payment to the phone company. ____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ You call someone and by the time they answer the phone, you forgot who you called. You try to grease a skillet with �g409�� instead of �gPam.�h ____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ The bottoms of your feet are numb and you realize you�fve been walking around without shoes on because you can�ft tell the difference. ____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ Your dog cleans up after you. ____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ You attempt to bake cookies, but you use wax paper instead of parchment paper. Even worse, you can�ft determine what�fs wrong until your cookies start to look like candles in the oven. Worst of all you have to call your mom to ask if you are able to cook in the oven with wax paper. She thinks you�fve lost your mind because you�fve been baking cookies on parchment paper for years! ____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ __ You dice your fingers while washing knives in the sink. The water turns red and you haven�ft a clue why. ____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ __ It�fs easier to use �gCharades�h because you just can�ft remember the words. (Fer shure) You hold a nail with one hand and a hammer with another. But by the time you�fre ready to finally swing the hammer, you�fve dropped the darn nail�cagain. ____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ __ You call your daughter and ask for directions and realize you�fve already arrived at the location in question. ____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ __ You attempt to move your index finger and your pinky finger moves instead.

You have to call your 16-year-old to come and find you. ____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ __ You have a college education, but when your doctor asks you to spell a simple, four-letter word, you�fre speechless. Of course, you can easily shout out a four-letter word in reply. (Not necessarily the same one the doctor wanted to hear). ____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ __ You invite your guests to sit on the cake while you serve the couch.
