I am a Multiple Sclerosis patient confined to a wheelchair I have a doctors prescription for medical marijuana , where can I find a co-op in the Los Angeles California.
West Hollywood. My bestfriend has MS and I drive her there every weekend to get hers. I do suggest the chocolate bars as well, dark chocolate with blueberrys, can't taste the THC.

Always remain hopeful! The answer to that question is absolutely not. You must be proactive! Try to get him involved in occupational and phsyical therapy, swimming, help him with stretches, just do anything to encourage him to move.
My grandmother has told me she knows a young lady with M.S around the same age as me - 23 - and was in a wheel chair, she had a surgery to some the tendons in the back of her legs and now she has no trouble walking. I guess it depends on what the root problems is - spacticity, balance and coordination, weakness, etc.
Now as I am beginning to have touble walking I am considering looking into that but befor I do anything drastic, I have asked my physician for a prescription for OT and I have joined a gym.
I wish you and your father all the best!
can you still not be in a wheelchair after having multiple sclerosis for 28 years?
Yes! That is very possible.
You don't have to be in a wheelchair to be disabled!
M.S has highs and lows--a person can be in remission (high) for many years and then suddenly go downhill with a bang.
The person to whomever you are referring may just have been lucky so far!
My father was diagnosed with prostate cancer on Friday. The doctor says it's early and is extremely optimistic. I have read about it online and the prognosis looks good.
Unfortunately, my father has multiple sclerosis that is pretty advanced as well. He was diagnosed over 25 years ago and is wheelchair bound. Will his multiple sclerosis have any effect on his prostate cancer prognosis?
Hi Ashley, I have had multiple sclerosis for twenty years now. Those of us with MS supposedly have compromised immune systems. As a consequence, we might have a more difficult time fighting off any other disease, inflammation or infection. That does not mean that we cannot survive cancer or any other disease. It simple means that we just might have a more difficult time. Many of us have a dual-diagnosis and live near normal life spans. My best wishes to you and your Dad.
I read somewhere it's as hard to define MS as it is to find a cure, in that a list of possible diagnosis are checked before actually arriving at MS. I have also heard claims that symptoms can be reversed. Can the immune system be boosted somehow to keep a sufferer more comfortable? There's so much I want to ask. I have recently come to know a sufferer who is wheelchair bound but so positive that it makes me feel really humble and selfish. I can research yeh, but does anyone have first hand experience with a friend or relative suffering from MS that can tell me something the text books cant?
my friends daughter has suffered this from 17 she is fine one minute and rushed in hospital the next she has two children now and is marvellous she has so much courage . another friends husband was also in a wheelchair and has now passed away the difference in the two is unbelievable yet both diagnosed with this terrible crippling disease

I have studied the media for almost 20 years and this blog is about my research interest: the media and disability. The media have real power to define what the public knows about disability and that's what I investigate. I am also a writer and media watcher. In addition, I want to use this blog to create a database of media stories on disability topics from around the world.
