Hi greenspark Thanks for your reply. I guess this whole process is a series of elimination. It couldnt hurt to get a stool check. Though my blood results were queer. I live in the sunshine state in australia and yet my vitamin D was 25 where it should have been 50+ :confused: Oh well. I see my docto...

Hi Kiyaan Mostly I want to know how I went from being a healthy, happy woman two years ago to being what I am now. Up until 2 years ago I had never thought of my bowel movements. Now it takes up some part of my day. I had a sphincterotomy last week to treat an anal fissure. :confused: And my myriad ...

Made the appointment. Guess I should research more about it so I can better interact with my doctor.

Thanks for all your replies

Hi again Kiyaan Just wanted to thank you for your earlier advice. I think I shall nudge my doctor. The only mildly amusing thing to come out of it is my partner says I look like a wriggling snake when I get the tightness and cramping just below my ribs :lol: Someone always told me to finish on a hap...

Hi Kiyaan

It is probably hard to believe but I am not too concerned about the diagnosis, way more worried with the money issues arising from it. money never goes far when there are kids about. But I keep myself positive and take life as it comes mostly

Hi The main reason I posted the question I did is because I have heard testing for MS can be very expensive. I am on a very fixed income and dont want to pay all that money if I dont have to. I am not seeking a professional opinion. Just wanted to know if others had experienced similar symptoms befo...

I do not think my problems are a result of nutrition. The first thing my doctor did was send me to a nutritionist and she said my diet was just fine. Her only advice was to bake my meat instead of frying. Which I have been doing religiously ever since. Is it possible I could have MS given my symptom...

To help you further I will put my other symptoms down -Tremors (quite common. seen especially when I lift things) - Blood tests have been done. Vitamin D was extremely low (25 where the normal is 50+ I was told). I was put on 1000 IU daily of Vit D supplement. My zinc levels were marginally low too....

Hi
My usual menu for the day is all bran for breakfast. a ham/chicken and salad roll for lunch. meat and three veg for dinner. I make up fruit salads every couple of days and have that for dessert and afternoon teas. Friday nights I treat myself with a bar of chocolate.

Hi My nutrition is very good really. I watch what I eat a lot. I lead an active lifestyle. Not so much in summer though. Summer and me dont agree. I have a 9 year old daughter who keeps me quite busy. Nothing has changed for me really in the last few years. But in the last couple of years I have all...

headaches radiating from my right eye. Centred on right side of head. I always get my hands mixed up

Hi My name is Monique and I am 33 years old, 34 in November. I am not diagnosed with MS but I am rather concerned with a lot of symptoms I am having. It is easiest to list the symtoms. I would appreciate any feedback on whether I should prod my doctor with the possibility of MS or allow her to keep ...
