Re: New to MS-seeking support

Thanks for the replies. I'm taking in everything posted. Jimmylegs, that was a typo on the hct. Supposed to be 39.2, not 3902. The magnesium was 2.0 mg/dL. On 09/19, my husband had to call an ambulance and I spent a few hours in the ER. I got dizzy when I was walking into my home office, the floor t...

Re: New to MS-seeking support

Just got copy of lab results. Any help on interpretation of "in normal range" appreciated. Some, however, not within normal range. Positive H. pylori (by stool sample). Magnesium--2.0 (normal 1.5-2.5) Free T4--1.5 (0.8-1.8) TSH --4.63, high (0.4-4.5) Vitamin D, 25-OH--31 (normal 30-100) Vi...

Re: Rather confused and concerned

One more thing...the tightness you describe in your abdomen. I have that also. Along both sides from ribs to hip bones, I get rock hard muscles with an awful feeling of tightness...all part of my H. pylori symptoms. Take care.

Re: Rather confused and concerned

Monique, I, too, have some of the symptoms you mentioned. The abdominal pain is the one that I noticed most in your description. I was diagnosed with H. pylori gastritis around May of this year. I, too, had some bizarre symptoms then and they have recently recurred with other symptoms similar to you...

Re: New to MS-seeking support

I haven't been on the forum for awhile--I've been too sick. I lost approximately 85% of my vision a few days ago. Most has returned but vision still not normal. I have been insanely thirsty and urinating so much I can't believe it. My glucose, however, through this time ranged from 99-106. Possible ...

Re: New to MS-seeking support

Jimmylegs, just have a moment to reply, so I'll post this for now. What do you think of these amounts? Excessive values?

This is my whole-food supplement label.

*ETA* Yikes!! Sorry about the size!!!

Re: New to MS-seeking support

I don't know how to do quotes as you did in your post, but I can find out how for the future. Right now, I can go point by point and answer th...

Re: New to MS-seeking support

Lyndacarol, what can I say but thank you, thank you from my heart for replying to me and providing so much helpful and insightful information. I am like minded in diet issues--I agree with every diet thing you mentioned and have followed a similar type of diet pretty strictly for years. I am a reade...

Re: New to MS-seeking support

Addendum to my first post--forgot to mention also intermittent severe vertigo with room spinning and also left leg very restless, constantly jiggling. Also, in my history, I was in a car accident in 2008 or 2009 where I rolled my Chevy Blazer 3-4 times but after a concussion, didn't seem to have fur...

New to MS-seeking support

Hello. I am a 45-yo woman. I have been suffering from a variety of what are to me bizarre symptoms and until yesterday never thought about the possibility of having MS. I am planning to get a referral to a neurologist but wonder if there is any advice before I pursue testing for this disease. Here's...
