Prokarin Day 2 Update

[Guest guest]

It is the evening of my second day on the Prokarin. I can't say anything

definitive one way or another yet. I did not get any of those red flushing marks

today that I had on Day 1. However on both Days 1 and 2 I have had occasional

queasy (spelling?)feeling -- like an upset stomach feeling--in the stomach that

would just last a minute or less. This upset-stomach feelign could possibly be

due to the Cal/Mag supplement that was sent to be used along with the Prokarin

as apparently they (Elaine Delack and the pharmacy) feel that taking this

cal/mag is mandatory because they say the Prokarin will rob you of calcium or

something to that effect.

As to my MS symptoms, I am not sure I feel any difference. It is very hard to

tell because my symptoms tend to vary at any given time anyway. I thought

tonight it did seem like my cog fog was a bit worse--where I was out with my

spouse and I used the wrong words a few time and couldn't think of words a

couple times and almost felt like I forgot how to talk. This cog fog is symptom

I have most of the time anyway but it doesn't usually interfere with my use of

words the way it did tonight--so I am not sure if that has anything to do with

the Prokarin or not.

At this point my goal is to stay on the Prokarin at least 2-3 weeks if there is

no adverse effect to see if it helps or not. I won't re-order another month

unless I see some benefit in the first month's supply.

As for the CCSVI, I am still on the fence. I know many people have gone into

CCSVI with a very positive, enthusiastic attitude and it is best to go in that

way. Perhaps because I have so many fears/concerns about it, and I don't have

that positive/enthusiastic feeling then that means it is not for me. As

mentioned previously I am scheduled for May for a block of testing followed the

next day by treatment if indicated, so I want to give the doc at least 1-2 weeks

notice if I cancel. I know they have a waiting list and someone else will be

thrilled to be bumped up the list, but I don't want to cancel the day before.
