I was diagnosed Mothers Day weekend of 2012...yes Happy Mothers Day to me :/ My symptoms have been minimal (tingling in right arm, numbness in toes, occasional burning in thighs and back spasms) My doctor in May of 2012 wrote me a script for Avonex injections. My daughter at the time was 2 and my hubby and I decided that this was our last chance to extend our family and I decided to hold off on any meds and get pregnant. So I did, the very next month. Well here I am 11 months later and I have another beautiful, healthy baby girl. Upon returning to my neurologist, they told me that they strongly recommend Tysabri (I just went for a bloodiest to see if I had the JCVirus and don't ave results yet.)
When I found this forum I was extremely pleased. A lot of information that , to be honest, I found more helpful than my neurologist.
****I'm really interested in starting a daily supplement regimen. I have been told by my neurologist to take 1,000iu of Vitamin D. I don't think that's enough!!
So, with all that being said- can someone (maybe jimmylegs) please please please help with some recommendations of which vitamins have worked for them and how much I should be taking daily?? I'm thinking at least 10,000iu of D3???!!!
What about b12?? What about LDN(can my doc write me a script?)?
I live in NYC and as you are aware winters are cold and gloomy and I don't get much sun... In Summer months I am usually poolside daily and getting lots of sunlight ;) I'm a Teacher-gimme a break!
Someone help! I am going May 19th back to neurologist: wants me to choose between Tysabri, Avonex, and Tecfidera... I believe I may start one of these, but would like to do supplements on my own.
