Hi there Burnt Ice. .This whole Mycroplasma thing sure is fascinating to say the least. All of these diseases sure do seem to be linked in some way. I have MS. Just wanted to mention something that all with Crohns should have the benefit of knowing. There is actually a trial going on right now for Crohns on the east coast. I posted a message about how they were looking for people for the study maybe about a year ago. Not sure if they are still looking for people but could certainly look into it for anyone that is interested. The clinical trial is for something that actually is said to help with many auto immune disorders. Low Dose Naltrexone or LDN as it is called. I myself have been taking it daily for just over 2 1/2 years for my MS and really do feel that it has halted my disease in its tracks. Amazing as it sounds, it is true. I truly look at it as a blessing in my life. Just wanted to check over here at the Crohns message section because I know that there are those in our yahoo group that are taking it for Crohns. I copied a post that was just sent to our group the other day and I'll paste it here for you. You can find info about LDN at www.ldninfo.org You can also see how this low dose application is helping countless MS patients over at the www.remedyfind.com daughter has Crohns......
"Hi All -
My daughter has Crohn's and has been taking 4.5mgs of LDN since the end of April. It took 2 weeks or so before we could be sure she was experiencing any benefits. The first thing she noticed in those first weeks was more pleasant dreams.Since then, there has been a remarkable decline in pain, a noticeable increase in pep, an improvement in mood, an ability to eat many foods which she was previously avoiding.
Fortunately, she hasn't had any of the side effects sometimes experienced by some who are using it for MS. No stiffness, for example. Don't know if that's just a difference due to the difference in disease or what the explanation would be.
For $30 a month or less, I'd encourage anyone with Crohn's to try it. For some people with Crohn's, it seems to be the whole answer; for others, it can be a helpful component in a comprehensive program of treatment.
Anyone else with Crohn's want to chime in?"
Hope that this person does not mind me re-printing the post but I do think that hearing personal stories goes a long way to helping people find things that can certainly help. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions. wkendz32@hotmail.com JoyceF
