Re: [TMIC] lesions, re-occurance of TM .... and such
After I tried Lyrica, I was put on Cymbalta. That did work! I was on it for a year plus and it really helped my leg pain. I hope I can stay off it now because I am trying to be off drugs as much as I can stand.:) I do take Neurontin. It helps. When my rib banding gets bad I take extra Baclofen and increase my Neurontin a little. It's so hard to find that right combination! Sharon The bluebird in the cedar tree spoke to me...

attack of the MS? I know my sister has MS and hers was a severe attack
back in the late 80's. At that time they weren't sure it was

My sister who is 3 yrs younger than me has MS. It is the one that progresses slowly but everytime she has and MRI she has more lesions on both spine and brain.

If one has lesions on the brain it is indicative of MS. Am I misinformed regarding this information? God Bless You, Jude In a message dated 11/24/2008 8:34:00 A.M.
