Thank you Jimmylegs!

JimmyLegs and anybody else, I need some advice on the supplement regimen. My Dh's latest blood work shows the following Ca - 9.8 mg/dL Vit D3 - 61 ng/mL - dropped from 67 ng/mL in 4 months Zinc - 0.96 ug/mL Mg - 2.3 mg/dL Currently he was on Vitamin D3 - 5000 iu - 4 times a week in the evening Ca (1...

Thanks Jimmylegs, Off I go to get that magnesium glycinate. And like I said earlier I will be back with the new results next week.

Thank you NHE, for that valuable information on curcumin and ALA, I will make sure DH takes them atleast 8 hrs apart.

Hi JimmyLegs, Yes, he alternates between D3 and cal,mg and zinc tablets on weekdays. We are up for his 1 yr Neuro appt this friday and we are sure his neuro will order all the blood work to get the numbers again (if she doesn't , then we are insisting). So hopefully by next monday/tuesday we should ...

Thanks for the reply, JimmyLegs. Here are the test values from 4 months back D3 - 67 ng/mL B12 - 1923 pg/mL -> High, so we stopped the B12 vitamin 4 months back. Zinc - 0.90 ug/mL Mg - 1.9 mg/dL Calcium - 9.8 mg/dL Potassium - 4.2 mmol/L Sodium - 139 mmol/L and these are the strengths of the vitamin...

Hi All, My DH has MS and has been taking vitamin supplements etc. after blood tests to determine his level of Zinc, D3, B12, Mg etc. He has been doing good (touch wood), except for the skin problem, after starting copaxone + vitamins and moving on to dairy free + gluten free diet, he has been having...

Congratulations George!!!

Hi All, My DH has a MS diagnosis and we went dairy and gluten free since Nov after hearing the diagnosis and after reading that various diet regimens. We recently did an ELISA test for food allergies and he is neither allergic to Dairy nor to Gluten. Is the Dairy free/gluten free still recommended ?...

Awesome Information and suggestions. Thank you!!!

JimmyLegs, can I bother you one more time please :) Rest of DH's results came in and we have Vit D3 - 67 ng/mL Zinc - 0.89 ug/mL Calcium - 9.8 mg/dL I don't have numbers for Mg, Uric acid etc. in front of me, but nurse said they were within above normal. * He is currently taking Vit D3 - 5000 iu, on...

We are waiting on other results like mg, zinc, d3 etc. , so I might come back to pick your brains more, Jimmylegs

Once again, thank you so much.

Both the megadose and the multiple vit says cyanocobalamin and not methylcobalamin. Is that an issue ?

For omega3, he takes flax seeds and fish oil

Thanks for the reply JimmyLegs!!! Yes, he took it once (in the morning) and no sleeping troubles. Actually I just noticed that he also takes one a day multi vitamin tablet which has another 18 mcg of B12 which he takes at noon. So we are thinking this, stop the megadose tablet and continue the multi...

My DH has a MS diagnosis and we started him on supplement B12 since his initial values were low (400 pg/mL) . After 3 months, we did another blood test which revealed his B12 as high (1923 pg/mL) He was taking a dosage of 2500 mcg daily. Do you think we should completely stop B12 at this point ? @Ji...

Glad to see more information on mesenchymal stem cell trials. It would be awesome if they stop further disability progression/attacks. But 10 months might just be too short a time frame.

Hoping for more positive news on the stem cells front.
