This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

A woman I know with MS has told me that the main effect of her MS is burning all over. She wears prescription pain patches every day.

I have had one spot of burning.

Thanks for posting. He recommends Ceylon cinnamon (cinnamonum verum) rather than cassia cinnamon.

I'm going to start supplementing with Ceylon cinnamon, 3 grams per day. It might not help, but I don't think it can hurt.

maynaka,

Are you following Terry Wahls' diet? I haven't bought her book (too much $ for me right now) but am following some of her recommendations.

jgkarob,
