Should we all eat lots of Garlic???

Hi, this has crossed my mind many a time, and with the CCSVI it would make sense for us all to eat lots of garlic to thin the blood in our jugulars so we encourage good blood supply in our hands and toes, I really suffer from this (raynauds) I have no problem eating lots of garlic but it is usually ...

Btw sorry if I make too many mistakes in English; it's not my mother tongue. My question is: I have been diagnosed with RRMS in 2015/6 and only had some...

Hi everyone. I have totally neglected myself and my life really including my MS with how utterly rubbish it all is for me atm. Im trying so hard to work out my marriage and its just too hard. I have noone to talk to as I dont want ppl I know finding out. Me n my kids aren't homeless anymore...we have a home now. But I am really really becoming depressed and having such bad thoughts. I want my husband so much as I love him but he isn't even a nice person 80% of the time. I dont even no why im putting this...im just needing to talk or It will end up killing me. Ive had 2 small flare ups since June because of all this. I live with 3hours sleep and constantly throwing up from stress and pain more than normal. I just dont know what to do anymore. Im a mum to an autistic 15yr old in yr 11 and a 4yr old starting school. I have almost nothing left in me. I dont know how to either work the marriage out or walk away...I need peace and I wont ever have it with him but it felt like it was worth it but now I dont know if it is. Sorry im just so upset xx

Ocrevus

I have been taking this IV chemo drug for almost a year now, and have had styes, acne and a wicked rash on my belly. Given the side effects from the other medication I have tried, I have been putting up with these, but no Dr. believes me when I say that they are a side effect of Ocrevus..."Oh, you m...
