Long-time Lurker--Finally posting!

Postby koopico » Wed Sep 22, 2010 4:21 pm

Hi everyone!

I've been lurking on this site for years, believe it or not--and am finally posting something! Just wanted to say "hello" to everybody--and thanks for all the great info you all share!

I was diagnosed in the spring of 2001, with RRMS. In the winter of that same year, I found out that I needed to get a defibrilator implanted for a heart condition--as a "safety net," so to speak. So I can no longer have MRIs. So much for tracking MS that way...

Anyway, just wanted to finally introduce myself!
:D

welcome koopico!
odd sx? no dx? check w/ dietitian
DRI=MINIMUM eg bit.ly/1vgQclQ
99% don't meet these. meds/lifestyle can affect levels
status can be low in ms & other cond'ns
'but my results are normal'. typical panels don't test all
deficits occur in 'normal' range
