Continued frustration and pain

I went to my appointment this week at Duke University. After talking with the Dr I didn’t leave feeling better or validated. I’m not a hypochondriac and I’m tired of chasing for someone to hear me and give me a professional opinion instead of well I don’t know exactly what is going on. Let’s run all...

I’m reading the health comments and how is that skunk weed marijuana are supposedly coming from Mexico in every country around the world I don’t believe that Mexico was shipping it to every country around the world is this government I’m just curious cause it seems like that would be a government thing but then why them that would be horribly shameful and how does some countries have it illegal although it’s being shipped in is that fair to punish the people for what they get? I don’t believe it is it should be legal around the world if they’re shipping it around the world shouldn’t it? Especially when it’s a lot of people with health problems using it diabetes, a lot of autoimmune disorders lotta stomach problems and it’s kind of weird how it’s so helpful and yet the government uses it to punish people it makes no sense?

Gabor Maté Autoimmune Theory

I am wondering what are other people’s takes on Gabor Maté’s theory on MS. “Maté argues that chronic emotional stress, plays a significant role in the development of autoimmune diseases like MS. Maté believes the mind and body are inseparable, meaning chronic psychological stress directly affects...

Do You Get Prof G's Newsletter?

You ought to. It is a brilliant patient focused resource. If you ask him nicely it is free. The big US MS meeting has just ended. It is called ACTRIMS. This is an excerpt from Prof G's report 'There were excellent talks on the biology of myelination and remyelination and their complexity. The que...

Has anyone else noticed this?👀

Hey hey lovely people, I’m suspected of having MS, and the NHS has fobbed me off for years claiming “Migraines” or the most recent explanation being it’s psychological and not physiological. I’ve lost faith in them if I’m honest, hence I’m about to go into debt for private diagnosis and possibly t...

I'm looking for some help, was diagnosed 30 years ago!

A powerful lesson about autoimmune diseases. It takes an average of 3 years and 5 doctors for a person to receive a proper diagnosis of an autoimmune disease. I just wish more people understood what an autoimmune disease is. It is not a cold or the flu; you will never get better, and even a nap will...
