This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

I'm newly diagnosed and I really want to do all that I can to help my body recover. However, I'm not quite clear on exactly how to do that yet. There are so many diets already that I've found that claim to help relieve your symptoms (swank, best bet, ms recovery diet). I don't know where to start! I don't think I want to eliminate dairy completely or other drastic measures, but I can avoid eating red meat, avoid wheat, etc. I have always tried to eat healthy and maintain a healthy weight, now I am trying to eat more natural foods, avoid saturated fats, and I take a multivitamin everyday and now I've started taking a vitamin D capsule everyday as well because I've read so much about the correlation between MS and vit D. I've also read alot about taking other supplements like fish oil, vit C and E, etc but I'm also nervous about playing with too many vitamins. If I start all these individual supplements should I quit taking the multivitamin? I don't want to overdose. What do you find is the best approach that helps you recover? I'm currently very numb and want to try to help my body repair the best I possibly can. What should I do???
