What Is A Chronic Illness, Anyway?
Submitted by Louise on Tue, 2007-10-23 05:49. What Is A Chronic Illness, Anyway?
A chronic illness is a disease or disorder that a person has to cope with on a continuous basis. Many people become so ill, they are unable to work and are forced to give up activities they have always enjoyed. Often their illness goes undiagnosed for years, leaving thousands of people frustrated, depressed and without answers to why their bodies will not cooperate with their desires.

CPN doctor in Sioux Falls SD or Sioux City IA area
Submitted by armstmik on Tue, 2007-02-06 17:35.Hello,
I live in Colorado and already have a competent doctor. I have friends and relatives in the midwest who suffer from MSi, Crohn's Disease and Fibromyalgiai. I would like to help them get treatment (as I have) since I am convinced the antibiotic protocol is helpful.
I am somewhat sceptical that any CPNi doctors live in that area. The nearest larger cities are Minneapolis MN and Omaha NE.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Digestive system improvements?
Submitted by rb on Thu, 2006-11-09 00:10.I'm feeling like being a little vague about this, but you guys should get it:
My digestive system tends to run... umm... "fast". Food moves through me too quickly and isn't digested all that well, especially fibrous stuff like raw veggies, etc.
Going on these antibiotics has not helped that.
Have any of you started with those sorts of symptoms, or maybe even developed them from the abxi, then got better?
I am taking some super-potent probiotics, but they have never really helped this. Rather, I just want to protect against the abxi.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Submitted by Sarah on Thu, 2006-09-21 12:06.Does anyone suffer from an inflammatory bowel diseasei? If you haven't seen it there is a new sister site of ThisisMS, called ThisisIBD It uses the same format, but is obviously in the very early stages, because no body has posted in the forums yet. Described as "A bowel disease community with a scientific focus on potential treatments", it has the following introduction to the site:
How IBD Feels
Normally our stories cover breaking news regarding research in the world of inflammatory bowel disease, and the implications of that research on our lives. However, a recent human interest story on Mike McCready of the American mega-band Pearl Jam-- and a Crohn's sufferer-- had what we felt was an extremely interesting nugget in it. In this interview, McCready provided an evocative and concise description of what living with IBD is like that we thought might be useful in describing the disease to friends and loved ones.

I am very excited to present the following article that summarizes Dr. Stratton's recent observations on Chlamydia pneumoniae infection. Putting it together has contributed greatly to my own understanding of Cpni as well as to my appreciation of Dr. Stratton's generosity with his time, and his great depth of knowledge of this area. Thanks to him for his contribution.

CPn as a cause of recurrent optic neuritis in a twelve year old boy

It has been suggested that Chlamydia pneumoniae (C. pneumoniae) is involved in the pathogenesis of diverse diseasesi of the central nervous system (CNSi), including multiple sclerosis. We report the case of a 12-year-old male with isolated recurrent optic neuritis and an associated CNS infection with C. pneumoniae. The patient presented with three attacks of optic neuritis within 5 months. A positive polymerase chain reaction for C. pneumoniae in the cerebrospinal fluid led to the diagnosis of a CNS infection with C. pneumoniae. After treatment with the antibiotic rifampicin, he experienced no further attacks during the follow-up period of 6 years. These findings suggest the possibility of a C. pneumoniae infection as a contributing factor or even causative event for the development of optic neuritis.

I thought this was interesting because optic neuritis is the first symptom of so many people with MSi..........Sarah

Started the Wheldon regime in August 2003, due to very aggressive SPMS. Moved to intermittent therapy after one year. In May 2006 still take this, two weeks every two months. EDSSi was about 7, now less than 2.

I have culled from Mitchell & Stratton patent #6,884,784 an exhaustive list of diseasesi where Cpni has been implicated as a possible cause or co-factor (reference: Mitchell & Stratton patent #6,884,784):
Diseases where an association has been discovered between chronic Chlamydia infection of body fluids and/or tissues with several disease syndromes of previously unknown etiology in humans which respond to unique antichlamydial regimens include:
Editorial comment: Strong findings from their research. If you have any of these it suggests to me that at least an empirical course of the combination antibiotic therapy is strongly indicated, with or without serologyi.
Multiple Sclerosis (MSi)
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
Inflammatory Bowel Diseasei (IBD)
Interstitial Cystitisi (IC)
Fibromyalgiai (FM)
Autonomic nervous dysfunction (AND neural-mediated hypotension);
