Does it have to be in the Glycinate form? From my research, it appears that Magnesium Malate is the most bioavailable form (though it's extremely expensive) followed by Magnesium Citrate (much more affordable). I'm not sure where Glycinate fits in, but if you were okay with the citrate form, I'd rec...

I've made a lot of diet changes over the past few years, trying to find out what works best for my body. Just keep in mind that what is good for me might not be optimal for you, and there's no way to know without just diving in an giving it a try. Here's a breakdown of the dietary things I've done i...

Well, honestly I would think it would be weird to not freak out at first...I'm sure most of us freaked when we got a diagnosis, it's a scary thing to be told. What I did when I had my first symptom (optic neuritis) years ago was to go into denial for a bit, then I gave myself permission to freak out...

is she officially diagnosed?

If so, did you submit all the bills to your insurance company, or was it paid out of pocket?

How about yoga? That's good for both stretching and maintaining/building some strength in a low impact way. I've been doing yoga a lot in recent years, and I've noticed that it's also helped to lessen my back pain. Plus, diet and stress are two common triggers of MS flares, and yoga is pretty good a...

I have known 2 women who are diagnosed with MS and subsequently had babies, so based on seeing their experiences and from reading a few research papers, it seems that it is very common for women with MS to go into remission during pregnancy, then at some point after giving birth (the length of time ...

Hi there, Superwoman7! You are not alone, and I know that MS seems like a really scary thing, but it doesn't have to be. When I had my first symptom about 6 years ago (optic neuritis), I kind of went into the denial and grief phase simultaneously...not pretty. Then I snapped myself out of it and I d...

Family Elder and Erimus, you mentioned you were doing well so far, would you be willing to share more details of exactly what issues have improved or not? While my husband would be interested in them for his autoimmune arthritis, I'm thinking about using them to improve my fatigue, which is the only...

I recently signed up on this forum, mainly because I have been able to put my MS in remission using a combination of diet changes, stress reduction, and and overall improvement in my quality of life, which based on my personal experience are some of the major issues causing/contributing to MS, and I...

I am a woman in my 30's who is diagnosed with Relapsing/Remitting MS. I had my first symptom (optic neuritis) about 6 years ago. I have been asymptomatic for over 2 years as a result of making significant changes to my diet, reducing my stress, and making some major improvements in my life (ending a...

I am diagnosed with Relapsing/Remitting MS (after an MRI and a spinal tap). Shortly after my first symptom (optic neuritis), I made some dietary changes and my symptoms were fairly mild (no way to say for sure if that was a result of diet, but I believe that it was). After a few years, I made some m...
