This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

FYI this is a good but not the best source for info on magnesium and ms.

this source usually has great citations but not always the best (ie there's more to magnesium insufficiency than ms) and/or most recent or thorough info (lit review = five references only).

all the same:

[quote="surfbird"]Thanks to both of you for your input! I'll ask my doc about the magnesium, that's interesting. I eat lots of spinach but not the rest, so I'll add that to my diet too.

Have either of you had spasticity or know of someone with it specifically in their lower back and not anywhere else?

Hope y'all are having a great day [/quote


YOU ARE NOT ALONE! I get the low back stifness horribly. To the point when I walk the stifness gets so severe that i have to sit. Valium is about the only thing i have found, but you have to be careful because it makes the legs so weak!
Did i mention MS sucks?
