The root causes of MS?

Been dealing with MS for 3 years now. After some research I realized all modern medicine had to offer was "symptom management". My doctors weren't interested in what was causing my MS or curing it, only providing me with RX drugs to control symptoms. (and keep my drug dependent $$$) So I started res...

So…had a swallow study done today. It showed Oropharyngeal dysphagia. It explains some things I’ve been experiencing. Neurologist and SLP want to see me. I’m 59 years old in a few weeks and have PPMS. Thoughts? Cause for concern or not a big deal?

Just signed up here. I was diagnosed last fall and started on Tysabri in Dec. So far it’s been really good. My symptoms have gotten better (which no one promised me). Lately, some things have gotten worse. Life has been stressful recently and I know that can cause relapses. I’m curious how everyone managed their stress level.

My neurologist insists that MS does not cause pain.

I don't even know what to say to that!

Before I got diagnosed with this illness I used to jog walk as morning exercise now I can barely walk it's really frustrating that I can't do the things I once did before it causes me to get in my emotions where I cry this is so hard for me.

Does it cause any harm to do things that make symptoms temporarily worse?

My right leg goes very heavy and mildly numb after I exercise, specifically after using the rowing machine (I imagine other cardio would do it but I only row for cardio) and sometimes if I walk for a long time. I can tolerate the temporary heavy leg but I don't want to be doing any actual damage.....

Has anyone’s doctors tried to find the cause of their MS? I think it’s bazaar that nobody cares what caused this in me, in the first place. No family history.

I just read that Mavenclad can cause cancer or increase risks of getting it. How true is that? My MS doc didn't inform me about it :(

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?
