Can these shocks that occur through my body be a sympton of multiple sclerosis?
Hi everyone, all of a sudden I started getting shocks through my body that occur when I may be startled, excited, suprised etc. What are these shocks and are they treatable?
BTW I have been taking a vitamin c tablet everyday for the past 3 days or so, since the immune system attacks the nervous system in MS, could this be an early sign.
From a concerned 15 year-old.
Thanks
Thanks

Mike , Having had MS for more years than you have been alive..I can tell you with confidence, No you don't have MS.
I don't have a clue what the issue might be but if it continues talk it over with your parents and they will schedule a check up for you
Good Luck , but I think you are ok.. (

if the report system and post/email limits were removed would it not remove the need for multiple accounts?
if the report system and post/email limits were removed would it not remove the need for multiple accounts?
See complaints here about multiple accounts... take a look at why people have them...
number one...
situations like you come accross somone in urgetn need of help...
then hit the sorry no more posts today page.
Or trying to explain something which takes more then one email and you hit the no more emails issue... especailly when they ohter person is getting things completely wrong.
but manly due to the report and suspend system with puritan twATS using it to remove info they dont like even or especailly when true and backed up.
Do those complaining about multiple accounts not think people would prefer likes of points and one account?
*********Mimkat.... go look up what the word typo means...
Likes was meant to say lots...
its called a typo. It's what happnes when people are typing fast and as not touch type trained looking down at the keyboard so they make mistakes and not so much at the screen.
Concentrate on what someones trying to say... this you seem to never do... you read one word, fill the rest in from your imagination, go slag off somone having got the complete wrong end of it, call people names and when they try and correct you.... you act like a 4 year old on a strop saying im not reading that... its insulting... but funny enough think its fine to insult others.
What are you? 5 years old?
Incidently on the subject of basic intelligence... most would work out from the words either side of likes as to what it was probably trying to say and figure out it was probably a typo and be more interested in the content of the message and dealing with that instead of trying to appear bigger just as you spotted a spelling error.
quote mimkat
It's you who is the puritan because you don't tolerate any points of view other than your own.
NO GO LOOK UP WHAT IT MEANS... IE SOMEONE WITH A PROBLEM WITH SEX.
i DONT HAVE POINTS OF VIEW SO MUCH... I PASS ON FACTS MAINLY...
I HAVE ISSUES WHEN SOMONE POSTS SOME THING WRONG WHEN ITS DANGEROUS AND CAN MESS UP SOMEBODYS LIFE.
IE SOMONE TELLING A KID WHO HAD UNPROTECTED SEX 4 DAYS AGO WAIT A FEW WEEKS FOR A TEST INSTEAD OF GET TO HOSPITAL FOR AN IUD COIL NOW..
I notice you dont copy and paste my letters as then everyone would see you are not exactly telling the truth.
you have not been bombared with emails... you got some pointing out that it was out of order going around insutling me as some sort of dirty old man (funny how you think its ok to insult others but cant take it back and leave out details like that to appear whiter then white) and saying the real reasons why im here and what im trying to do.
quote
Offer advice by all means but try to write calmly & keep you posts shorter. You have made yourself look like a raving lunatic so far. As the mother of two teens I can assure you teens don't respond to somebody barking orders at them & treating them like morons, which is exactly what you do.
THIS ONE PROVES YOU ARE AN UNFIT MOTHER WITH NO CONCEPT OF URGENCY AND NO IDEA ABOUT SEX ED.
Lets see why would my posts not be calm?
maybe as they are usually 'backing orders' to teengers to get monring afterpills.
if you knoew anything about them... clearly you dont... you would know they only work if taken fast. to avoid pregancy.
EVERYONE MIMKAT WOULD RATHER i SAY HEY KID DONT WORRY YOU CAN WAIT A FEW WEEKS FOR A MORNING AFTER PILL.
HELL WAIT A FEW MONTHS ANS A FULL ON VACUME ASPIRATION ABORTION IS NO DIFFERENT TO A MORNING AFTERPILL.
CHILL MAN.
I TAKE IT YOU WOULD ALSO BE ALL CALM AND NO WORRIES AND POLITE IF YOUR KID GOT BITEN BY A SNAKE.
If mimkat you learn to read posts properly... you might someday start to understand there are sometimes reasons in the world why people may need urgent medical treatment and sometimes its in their best interests fro people to be a little barky to motivate them into seeing how urgent the situation is and that they aint a raving anything... but unlike you hvery clued up and understandig of the situation... as they read posts properly... unlike you
So
oh an insult
why dont you get off your ass and grow up and realise these are important issues, requiring urgent correct actions where by what somone does in the next few hours can affect the rest of peoples lives. and in some cases determine whether people live or die sometimes.
Ie have told several teengers exactly why they should not attemtp backstreet abortions on themselves ofr girlfriends...
I suppose you think that should be all chill out to and say hey dont worry go ahead with it.
*******************************
Incidently I always find it amazing people like this can never actually prove any of the sex ed info im posting as wrong...
one poster here for 2 months kept saying all the info was rubbish and only recently reveiled that it was actually the more socialisitic way of doing things he was refering to ... possibly as he checked the sex ed stuff and found it was true.

Should women who get multiple abortions have their tubes tied?
I am pro-choice but only to an extent.
Getting an abortion was to help rape victims or couples who accidentally make a child however like everything else some people will abuse the system. One abortion is fine (hell everyone will make a mistake), two is pushing it but who knows something may have happened, however three is enough and it's time to face the consequences of their actions. I don't want to see a dumpster baby so why not just get her tubes tied?
Think of it somehow in the same field of a father who constantly doesn't use protection getting a vasectomy.
----------
An abortion is a poor method of birth control. Abortions are not the simple procedure many are lead to believe and can be dangerous for the mother. Multiple abortions may interfere with the woman's ability to conceive when she decides she wants to have a baby. Most of my friends that have had abortions suffered later with the remorse, depression, and other mental issues in addition to some having physical problems. Tying tubes is not necessarily reversible and shouldn't be done unless the woman is absolutely certain that she does not want children. But she should, without a doubt, use birth control. The man has a responsibility, too. If he doesn't want to take a chance on having the responsibility for a child, a vasectomy is a good answer. Vasectomies can usually be reversed and are much less invasive and faster recovery time than what a woman must endure. A man should always use a condom, even if the woman uses birth control. The only exception is if you are married and are trying to conceive. (

Is it ok to take multiple tablets at the same time like vitamins etc?
I have a vitamin tablets at home a to z, I also have green tea tablets ,omega 3 fish oil, vegtable mix tablets etc all of which can be bougth in a herbal shop or chemist , but just wondering if swallowing 1 each or the recommended dose in the same go bad for you , for your liver digestive system etc or should I spread them out over the day?
----------
Do you really need all those suppliments? Unless you have a medical condition which prevents you from eating or from absorbing many foods, this should come from a balanced, varried diet. Just make sure you aren't taking anything in one tablet, which is also in another and make sure you don't take more than the recommended daily allowance (RDA-probably expressed as a percentage (

I have Multiple Sclerosis and want to know if my immune system is lower during an exacerbation?
I am 26 and was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis about 4 months ago and have been taking Avonex shots once a week since then. I have adjust well to the side effects of the Avonex and generally only have symptoms from my shot within the first 24-48 hours. I have an exacerbation that started about 2 days ago causing numbness and tenderness in my right leg. I have noticed that since the start of my exacerbation I am noticing similar symptoms from my shot all day long everyday on days that I should be feeling fine. I know that when I have something as mild as a cold I have noticed the symptoms from my shot magnify due to my immune system being lower. I was wondering if the same is true duing an exacerbation?
----------
During an attack your system is overactive and is actively attacking the myelin - causing the inflammation and sx. (as I understand it). Talk with your neuro and you may need to take some steroids. You should also talk with your neuro about any concerns that you have, I think it's VERY important to have good information and trust your doc. Don't hesitate to call your doctors. Here's a great place that you should check out:

Is it possible to pick up multiple strains of the flu at the same time?
If so, how does your immune system handle two or more at the same time
----------
absolutely...in fact, you are vulnerable to other viruses when you are already fighting one. I did research on this; no one seems to have a definate answer, except to say it is rare, and they will probably not make you sicker than if you had just one strain, but it is expensive and difficult to test people for what strain they actually have, so it is a big unknown still, until we really do test a lot, and compile more data. one thing I am sure of is that vitamin D is very important...low-levels may be why persons died of H1N1 in Mexico City, and in 1918 (which was a H1N1 virus!!!). You need to take mega doses to boost your immune system, and it is safe and cheap...some say it may be as effective as a flu shot. my 22-yr old just had full-blown flu, maybe H1N1, and none of us that take the D became ill, although the 3 of us were all exposed extensively. But we were still carriers, I think, for a week or so. my daughter is better now, thank you Goddess...but she was very ill for 8 days. she did not take the D because she is a very independant adult...and does not take advice from Mother...and she could eat better, and drinks some alcohol, and works and goes to school...very busy. I really think lack of rest plays a big part. In 1918, young soldiers were showing up half-dead at the infirmary, and many, many died. please rest a lot if you get the flu, especially you busy young people. and check out the vitamin D thing....rest up for a while after the end of symptoms; remember that you are vulnerable at this time to other viruses.

how do i improve my immune system?
Same question has been posted multiple times already, but some answers are not specific enough. Some people recommend going to a good herbalist. Where would I find one? I never even heard of that before...
Some people recommend vitamin C. I tried taking it a while ago, after about 3 weeks it gave me nasty pimples on my face and as soon as stopped they went away. I tried again thinking it could be cuz of something else, but same thing happened. Why is that???
If I have a weak immune system, which I know I do cuz lately I've been getting sick a lot, how come my body won't accept vitamin C?
----------
It's rare to overdose on Vitamin C. It is water soluable and has to be replaced every day. You have to make sure you are taking a pure Vitamin C, it's the fillers that can give you problems. This link should answer some of your questions on Vitamin C, and I included the google search, too.

There is agood herbal immune inhancer called Echinecha. Here is one guys recomendation for it.
Start taking Echinecha + Goldenseal 3 times daily along with 500mg of Vitamin C - 3 times daily.
Also increase your intake of fluids, mostly water / orange juice ( vitamin C )
Continue to take a multivitamin each morning, and 500 U.I of Vitamin E - 3-4 times ED.
Goodluck man. Oh yeah, Rest. Get like 8-10 hours of sleep each night leading up to the vacation.

What are the multiple methods for abortion?
Is one method safer for the mother than the others? This is not about birth control or judgment.
Be gentle, I am actually afraid to know. This whole time I have been pro-life for reproductive rights. Mainly because the following, if a baby is going to born with a defect, it should be a personal choice. And primarily out of lack of resources or traumatic assault, or threat of death to the mother.
I wonder if all those people who want children, particularly gays and minorities would adopt the children, instead.
My friends are adopting two children and it has been a whirl wind experience, the cost are high, 30 to 60K per child, I wonder if the cost is something that is being worked on to come down?
Should the whole system be revamped is it working?
I ask that you play nice on the playground today and I wish you the best, if someone has a testimony, they feel like sharing please feel free, I like second-hand knowledge but that never quite lives up to first hand experience.
Laws are different everywhere so I understand if some people have a different perspective.
No harsh words at all, remember no judgment. Thank you for having the courage to share.

The earlier you get an abortion the less invasive and the less of a risk it is to the female.
Within the first month they use the pill that causes you to have a period...flushing out the uterus.Within the first month the "baby" is microscopic and basically a clump of cells...
From 2 months-4 they use a semi-surgical means to extract it. Basically a suction tool that suctions it out. Causes "death" to the now fetus(no longer a clump of cells.)
After 4 months I believe they would use a form of actual "birth" to abort the baby.But this is very rare and only occurs if there is danger to the mother's life or the baby has a serious medical condition that will cause it to die in utero or very shortly after birth. (

Do you know of a system of mindbodyspiritual development having best practices from multiple disciplines?
Do you know of an eastern/western fused system of mindbody and spiritual development that incorporates the best practices from multiple disciplines? Is their a modern distillation of all the wisdom from yoga, taoism, Tibetan Rites of Rejuvenation, Qi Gong, Tai Chi, energy and vibrational healing, that blends the principles of eastern and western science??
Each discipline that I read about has their own benefits, but it would be great if I didn't have to recreate the wheel in terms of synthesizing the best of the best into daily practice.
Thank you for reading. I look forward to your insight from all angles.
----------
Permit me to answer by addressing something key to the question: it may be other than beneficial to combine elements of form. Here's why: When the monk who later became known as the Buddha migrated from India to China, he took his spirituality with him. Buddhism and Taoism developed alongside each other, in the philosophical sphere, as well as the martial. They developed and spread to Japan and Korea, where they further developed. As they did, people combined elements to create their own forms, further diluting the practices. The "mother form" of qigong or tai chi, or one of the oldest forms of each, would be better. What you are really wanting is something comprehensive and that does exist. I practice "Wild Goose" qigong, which is the only form of qigong I have ever heard of that is designed for health, not martial arts. So, points are matched up through the routine in order to balance your energy for you well-being, not with the intent of building it out of balance in order to have an advantage in fighting. I heavily recommend it but it cannot be learned from a video. If you're interested, try to find a teacher who learned from the lineage holder, Master Chen, or his mother, Yang Meijune. For, this form has also been diluted by those who have taken it upon themselves to alter it. (

Are there any major threatening conditions due to eating spicy buffalo wings multiple times in one week>?
I know someone who eats at Buffalo Wild Wings about 5 times in one week. Will the heat affect his digestive system or any other body function in a negative way?
