Another relapse - suggestions for improving it without drugs
Posted: Mon May 28, 2012 12:15 pm
Hi
Sorry I have been so absent. I keep meaning to come on and say hi. I seem t be having a continual downward trend with the MS this year, starting with painful hypersensitivity that began on New Years day and lasted 6 weeks to today's arrival of optic neuritis. My legs have gotten really bad - spasms, weakness and trouble picking up my feet. I use the chair quite a bit now. I also hvae weakness in my arm for the first time in ages and the mandatory fatigue. Things have been pretty bad lately.
Anyways, I didn't come on to moan. I was hoping for some advice. I am takin no drugs as I am breastfeeding my beautiful son! My neuro is something of a twat (understatement) and refuses to prescribe me anything unless I stop breastfeeding, even when presented with evidence and the support of a trained pharmacist that the drugs are safe. Are there any supplements etc that can help? Or any other great advice?
I thought remitting relapsing MS was supposed to have remissions but I haven't really had one in ages.
Hope you're all well
