Re: Limitless
I can't begin to understand and anything I say may be stupid in this situation. Good luck. I'm pleased that you have this window of relief and hope that you and your doctors can work out a plan that keeps you stable and in a good place.
I have, for the first time, got a Netflix subscription where Limitless is shown and will watch it this weekend.

Re: Limitless
Totally awesome that the brain nuke has had such a good effect for now. Totally sux that you have this diagnosis and have been fighting so long for help
REALLY hoping for you that the drug lasts a long time, or resets the brain a bit so you don't fall back down the hole anytime soon
Good luck with the sheds and jobs

Re: Limitless
Welcome back Steve/Screwd. Hope the treatment 'sticks'. Pretty shocking that you had to battle like that to get through the hoops to get proper care, never mind getting on the drug trial. Epic results so far though. 
The plural of 'anecdote' is not 'data'.

Re: Limitless
Welcome back Screwdriver, I'm glad to hear something is working for you
There does seem to be a cure for MS, I don't know if it works for everyone and you'll need a cancer diagnosis to get it prescribed. As you know from helping us out before, my wife has had MS for years so I can certainly agree that mental stress can make it worse. Being in a zen state of mind helps a lot to keep MS at bay.
I've not heard about that drug so I'll have a read, a simpler drug that we found helps often is Propranolol to lower blood pressure. It's fairly mild so easy to get and have on hand.
What you have taken sounds similar to the effects of steroids, be careful if that also means you'll get a similar crash.

Good to see you back here Screwd and good to see you're getting some treatment. I hope it all has long lasting and effective results.

Re: Limitless
Illness is shitty, unfair and can be a lonely place to be.
Hope your state of remission is long lasting.

Good to hear old boy, long may the reprieve (and your posting as either) continue

Yep, that- but mainly that RG

Re: Limitless
Steve/Screwdriver/DEADPOOL - I can't begin to imagine what you've been going through up till this point, but here's hoping that your current state of being continues indefinitely. It just goes to show that no-one really knows what is going on behind the facade we project and maintain. All the best.
There is no cloud, just somebody else's computer.

Best of luck, hope you stay in the calm spot indefinitely. Would be good to see pictures of you working your magic again.

Re: Limitless
Ah man,life has surely dealt you one. I'm glad for your current revival and sincerely wish this is your new normal. Dealing with bureaucracy in any form is an exercise in laying waste to the soul.When it concerns matters of health and quality of life,the frustration is magnified. The sense of urgency and desperation you feel is often not reflected by those who are paid to care. I'm not surprised you lost your cool,you did better than I could have.
Your example is a good reason for us all to adopt the 'be kind to everyone,you don't know what they are going through',perhaps more especially when posting online,when typically it's so much easier to be cruel and insulting to mere font.
Wishing you everything positive in the days ahead,Screwd,you deserve a break.

Re: Limitless
I tend to not read the argumentative posts on here as its not what I come on here for, and rarely even venture into that forum, but I am aware you've been in some blinders in the past, (here, but mainly TRC)!
Anyway, I enjoy your threads and comments and normally come out wiser for reading them. To me, you're what my Dad used to call a "decent sort". Keep positive and keep posting.
Best,
Dave

Re: Limitless
Like others I'm not interested in the political ming mong trolling so haven't really registered the Deadpool thing. You can be argumentitive but so are a lot of the posters in here.
So pleased to read that you've had a breakthrough at last and that it seems to be a proper turnaround, fingers crossed for you. I agree with Potter, you've regained control of the rest of your life, make it a long one, treat it as a marathon not a sprint. Good luck.
