This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

The lady who owns the store has a Phd in "Health", or whatever it is... Anyrate, here is what I ended up buying, amongst the other freebies: a bottle of DHA from purified fish oil, and Myelin Sheath Support 820mg tablets. I did get some Natural Calm packets for free, but I ended up spending $50.00
Anyone ever hear of these things?

Hiya Bubba, I take fish oil, never heard of Myelin Sheath support...what's in it?
I'm kinda spooked by some of the owners of these small health supplement stores, they're a different breed, kinda very hippyish.
I'm all for supplementing to a degree and alternative treatments, but ...
My husband has had great results from the fish oil. he had terrible arthritis pain in his hands, it's almost all gone.
I take something called bone grow...that actually guarantees results after 3 months. I got 2 months free at Vit shoppe, so I'm trying as I'm osteopenic from the steroids and reduced mobility. My remote control thumb has been getting a workout though..the rest om me feels too ****y

I've got a list of about 13 supplements I'm considering along with the swank diet. I'm afraid to go into a supplement store, they'll probably just offer me a bunch of crap I don't need for sake of making a sale.

Yesterday I had my B12 levels checked again along with my Iron. We'll see what those show but luckily my Doc said she'll give me the B12 injections so I won't have to buy that supplement.

Friday I have an appointment with an Nutritionist, I think I'll feel more confident walking into a supplement store after I see him. If you guys have any general questions that you'd like me to ask, just let me know.

LA - I'm curious to know what the nutritionist said. I also need to get vitamins & supplements but aren't sure which or what dosages.

Also, I sent you a PM but it doesn't look like you saw it.

And for anybody- has anybody found an good place to buy vitamins online?

I've ordered from vitaminshoppe.com. They seemed ok. Place one order with them, and they'll email you coupons for life.

Thank you.
