Re: How did you doctor tell you that you have MS?
When my doctor suspected it was causing my problems, he called me personally and scheduled me a time to come in the next day. He did not tell me any results on the phone.

Re: Rare gene links vitamin D and multiple sclerosis
Very interesting. I wish the majority of these articles did not end in the "but it is likely to be some years yet before we can gauge the significance of vitamin D deficiency to MS."

Re: Can this be normal-Failing Fast
My ds date was 11/17. Sorry i dont type well from my phone. As other's have said, there is no "normal" with this disease, but if you have RRMS, there is a good chance that it will go into remission and you will get most if not all of that functionality back. I would also recommend looking...

Re: Update: Inability to taste for 2 months... now fine.
I would keep the appointment and try to get an MRI to see what is going on. If you cancel the appointment and have problems later you may have regrets. I hope everything is okay!

Re: O.N. symptom relief, is there any?
I had some nystagmus with my vision as well as vertigo and started seeing improvements in three weeks. It is continually improving. I am not sure if mine was all out O.N or not, but my vision was greatly affected. I hope your's clears up soon. I am fortunate and had no pain. I would think your typic...

MS or Celiac or B12 deficiency?
Hello, I wanted to get some board members thoughts on some of my symptoms as I want to get some other ideas about what my problem may or may not be. I am a 35 y/o male and around October 9th started getting some neurological symptoms that pretty much came out of the blue. A few days prior I felt lik...

Re: My regimen
Thank you for sharing, and that is excellent that you are doing better and almost at 100%. I am also going to go the diet route as I know that my diet when I started getting symptoms was not good. It sounds that the diet route is about as good as the drugs from what I have read, and will not have an...

Re: Dr. Terry Wahls on TEDx and study results
I think these people are on to something. There is so much that is unknown about this disease. Doctors cannot tell us "why" we get it. Why does this person get it and this person does not? Why does this person go 30+ years and this person gets it at 18? There is no cure for it yet because ...

Re: First symptoms are rough...
Thanks everyone for the kind words and encouragement!
I thought I had labyrenthitis when I first got sick, but I went to the doctor and the diagnosed is as MS after an MRI. I hope they are wrong!
I am going to a follow up neurologist in January and hope to know more then.

Re: First symptoms are rough...
I am very happy to report that I was able to drive for the first time today! My vision is still off a little when I look to the extreme right, and my balance is not completely back yet, but When I look straight and to the left my double vision has finally subsided. It was very nice to be able to dri...

Re: First symptoms are rough...
I have not started any treatment yet. This is the first time I can remember ever having an issue, and was just diagnosed. All of the treatment options were a little overwhelming to hear to start with. I am going to go with some treatment but am unsure which yet. I'm still discussing it with the fami...

Re: how do you deal with brain fog?
I got brain fog terrible when I got my first relapse (still going on I think) but the brain fog faded away (but the vertigo did not). Still dealing with vertigo now.

Re: smoking - no smoking
I am not a smoker and never have been, but have been exposed to second-hand smoke all my life on occasion. Although in recent years it has been more rare.
