Guest guest Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Hi, I was wondering if this center is in Ohio. I noticed the name Riverside and that is a really big hospital/clinic. I used to live in OHio. Wherever it is, it sounds like a good place to go. Voice your conern with them about the antibiotics. I have learned over the years, to speak up, question, and write down your concerns before you go ( then remember to take the list with you!, haha ) I was also suspected of MS, and I had developed difficulty in swallowing. It got so bad I almost choked to death on my own saliva one day. I saw a specialist and found out I had developed " rings " in my throat, and had surgery. It was simple surgery on my part, in and out same day. Had a sore throat for short time, and the food goes down by gravity. I had to have the surgery again this past may. My family doctor tells me now I have scleroderma. It causes hardening of the collagen and that is one of the symptoms, these rings. Oh, the surgery is done through the throat, you have no outside cuts. MS is scary, and even after all the tests I had done at that time, the doctor told me he could not say for sure one way or the other. Just have to keep watching the symptoms. The bloodwork was good, but that isn't all there is to it. I had MRI, but it was ok, he still said I may have because of all the other symptoms. Diagnoses of any disease can be long and tedious, but stick with it, sounds like Riverside is a good place to go with you each step of the process Take care, better days ahead ! ____________________________________________________ Start your day with - make it your home page http://www./r/hs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 No, it is in Riverside, CA. They do have people come in from all over the country, from the sound of it. I'll keep you guys posted on what I think, and if I do decide to try their treatment, I'll DEFINITELY let you all know if it seems to work. > > Hi, I was wondering if this center is in Ohio.
