Guest guest Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 I go for my 2nd MRI today, and have heard about lumbar puncture, to diagnose, then the drugs they'll want to put me on....is it worth it? What do I say to my grown children. they both are living out of town, i eat a gluten free diet, but the symptoms seem to be coming like a freight train, however a friend prayed for complete healing for me, and so for 2 days, each tingle, and cramp, I " ve rebuked it, and it seems to be working. I started taking colostrum in July - not very consistent- but the MS plaque they found in the first MRI didn't " light up " whatever that means, so maybe the colostrum worked. any comments would be appreciated!!! I use diatematious earth for pest control and understand it, I also have lately been taking some pro biotics. My hubby has had an overactive immune system for decades and with God's help and my research I put him on colostrum 8 years ago when vasculitis kicked him into a downward spiral, and even though only 10 % go 5 years, he's 10 years out and feeling great! We are both in our early 50s. Thanks for your comments to come. I really need some input! SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Hi SW I'm from Australia and was dxd without the need of a lumbar puncture. MRIs of brain and spine were all that was needed. From what I've heard and from what I know, Australian Neurologists don't tend to do the Lumbar Puncture thing to dx people. The drugs are also generally covered by our Government's Healthcare System, so the drugs aren't expensive there. YOUR situation will, of course, depend on your country's healthcare system AND your feelings about medication. I am on the Best Bet Diet and the recommended Supplements and it's a lot better than when I was on Avonex for a year and a half. I've been tested for CCSVI and have stenosis in both jugulars - I am now waiting on the time and date for the procedure (both will be paid for by my hubby as the UK Healthcare system doesn't cover it). The MSDiet Yahoo group is a good group to help with following the Dietary approach. There are ways around the drugs if you wish to take the 'alternative' route - 'MS' is, and should always be, about following the path that YOU are more comfortable with. I wish you a world of luck with conquering the 'MonSter'! 'What we do in life, echoes through eternity.' MARCUS AURELIUS (121 - 180 A.D.) To: mscured From: skywatcher4him@...

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 No, the lumbar puncture hurts, causes side effects in some people and it is not a definitive test. I did it and the only thing that was found out is that protein was in my spinal fluid. The kind of protein was not determined. I did a VEP (Visual Evoked Potential) test and the only information that I got was that I was abnormal! That test is not definitive either. Clinical problems are the best way to determine if you MS, MRIs are the way that it is diagnosed. People with MS tend to have a reflex on the bottom of their feet that makes the toes curl up when the bottoms of the feet are touched. Babies have this reflex but most adults tend to turn their toes under. It's called the Babinski Reflex. If your MRI shows an area called Dawson's Finger, that is a clear sign of having MS. I used DE at one time but I didn't notice a difference. That doesn't mean that it wasn't working. I did a lot of things at the same time at that juncture and I couldn't always tell what did what. Probitics are a good thing but start slow because if you take a bunch you may have a die-off reaction. Colostrum has helped many people but some people think that anything dairy is bad. I drink raw milk, eat raw butter and cheese and I am stronger today than I was a few months ago. It depends on your metabolic type what you should eat (IMO). Everything has two sides. What may be good for me may not be good for you. Tell your children that you have a health issue that you will be able to correct! > > I go for my 2nd MRI today, and have heard about lumbar puncture, > to diagnose, then the drugs they'll want to put me on....is it worth it?

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Hi, (Apologies for stepping in but I saw this and thought, as I have a couple of minutes, I might be able to save you some time.) The Best Bet Diet (BBD) is a diet very similar to the Paleolithic Diet. http://www.msrc.co.uk/index.cfm/fuseaction/show/pageid/8 It eliminates gluten grains, lactose, legumes, tomatoes and egg which are implicated in molecular mimicry (see articles in their site above) wherein, in simplistic terms, these foods are seen as its own myelin and the body attacks itself. I myself have been on it 3 1/2 years and take all their suggested supplements too plus a load more for CCSVI. (PPMS 15 years, wheelchair dependent.) I also removed all my amalgam fillings and had food allergy tests, heavy metal tests, Lyme Disease test, syndrome test... I have changed my lifestyle to one that incorporates swimming and/or yoga daily, is stress-free, and is in a temperate climate, and have CST (cranio-sacral therapy) fortnightly. Whether any of these can be proved to help MS is not of any concern to me, I am not taking any pharmaceutical drugs and I FEEL loads better. I am still in a wheelchair but have beaten all my other little symptoms (brain fog, fatigue, tinnitus, neuralgia, odd sensations, bear hug, blurred vision, slurred speech, etc. I still have absolutely no balance and my legs won't work but other than that, hey MS isn't so bad! (Note to any newcomers here, normally MS doesn't get you in a wheelchair.) The diet sounds horrendous when you start it but you soon get used to it and know what you can/can't eat. I used to be tempted to take a bit out of someone's bread roll as I passed their table in a restaurant, now I actually feel sorry for them having to eat it! Keep smiling!
