I am currently taking it. I have been on it since september and it does help slightly with some of nerve pain. Have not noticed mood changes, and the fact that I take a weekly injection of medicine for ms that causes depression I was reluctant at first. I hate meds, but will try if it helps.

"ms" = multiple sclerosis?

If so, do you think there is any relationship between ms and TOS? Just curious.

chroma, I have multiple sclerosis for 6 years now. It was found by chance during a time I was having some dizziness and was sent for mri. I had the spinal tap and a multitude of other tests. I recently read where ATOS and ms have a relationship. I need to find article again, but basically the doctor who wrote it was studying the relationship.

I recently read one as well, It was a South American study....I think form a dr. in Argentina. Apparantly most people who have MS will develop tos at some point. Not the oppostie.

Can you find the reference to what you read? I never went in to get diagnosed, but I have had symptoms in the past that made me wonder if I should get screened for MS.

That was back in the 90's actually. Has diagnosis and/or treatment of MS improved since then? Because back in the 90's, based on what I read, it wasn't a pretty picture.

chroma, I will check for it. Yes, they have come a long way with medicine and treatments. Still no cure but the injections I take say it slows the progress by 80%. I have a mri every year and every year my lesions have been inactive since taking the injections.
