Diagnosed less than a month ago. Since then I have tried taking to "intensive nutrition" and Vitamin D supplements. Working on improving that regimen all the time.
Anyway, a little about my sitch: I'm a full time college student from the PNW about to turn 22. First symptom, some tingling and numbness in right foot, stiff knees. Leading to diagnosis-nystagmus.
Right now I am in the middle of an exacerbation. Steroids got rid of the nystagmus again but I'm still experiencing numb/tingly hands and various other parts in my body (including around my jaw/lips), some difficulty speaking swallowing, very stiff legs/awkward gait and fatigue. Also, it seems I've been feeling a bit clammy lately, from what I've read this doesn't seem to be MS related.
My biggest problem is that I don't have insurance. I'd like to try LDN but I get the feeling my neuro (who I pay $400 out of pocket to see) won't prescribe it. Also, I'm fighting through this so I can stay in school and graduate soon, hopefully going on to study neuroscience or something along those lines in grad school...
Any tips?
