Just the dye, the head, neck, orbit, face? Has been approved but only w/o dye

Okay, so I have an MRI of head neck and orbit scheduled for July 25th and a neuro appt at the MS care clinic on the 31st. I just got the certification letter from the insurance that they approved the MRI but without the dye. Isn't the dye kind of important? They deny the dye every time and then if t...

It took me three months to make and go to an appointment for the ophthalmologist but I did finally get there. He says optic neuritis and talked a lot about MS. I shut off at some point and stopped listening for some reason. I guess it is because I am already dealing with so much I didn't want to hea...

Thank you so much for this information. Looks like I need to change a few things up.

You have been a godsend. I appreciate it.

Yes, I forgot about vitamin E... I do take this 400iu daily. Spinach is pretty high... never heard of a vitamin e8 complex.

Thanks for your insight. It looks like I need to change my multi to a senior option to get the copper I need. I can do that as I have that in the house.

There is zinc in my multi: 15mg Magnesium oxide is the one I am taking currently. There is no specific timing of these. Most of the time I...

I have made significant diet changes when I thought that my RA treatments wouldn't be covered. Thank goodness I was able to qualify for some financial assistance in that matter. So, what have I changed since January 2012: Zinc: orally once daily 30mg Magnesium: orally once daily 250mg Potassium Gluc...

I am supposed to set up an appointment with a neurologist after it was suggested by my rheumatologist and GP that my symptoms were suspicious for MS. About 8 years ago I had symptoms similar but not as severe and the MRI w/o contrast as far as I know was normal. No other tests other than bloodwork w...
