Well, I decided to try switching to the wahl diet, its been one week and my symptoms of left leg weekness have gotten a lot worse! With just one week of eating lots of lean meat! I am switching back but instead of the jelinek diet I am going to be the swank diet wich is not as strict! Im going to fo...

I read about this today, it was very interesting.
Can't this be triggered by the cmv virus?
And would that mean another immunosuppressive drug or is there a way to block the expression of it naturally.?

Well I can only respond to the ON part. That was one of my first symptoms 16 years ago (age 27). I had an MRI shortly after that showed basically small dots of demyelination, and was told it will nerver surmount to anything so not to worry. I was diagnosed at the age of 35 after a streesfull event (...

Thank you so much for the advice!

My liver ensymes are normal and my vitamin b 12 is in the 300 's.
I don't know about my zinc level.
I am interested in the zamboni neck collar theory!
Barometric pressure is my biggest influencing factor, and maybe blood pressure and blood vessel diameter and volume status?

Yes, thats the thing it does the best!
I will compare my MRI from last August with the next one I get!
Whenever I get one done.No hurry!

Also I no longer get blurred vision when I drink hot tea (wich is about 6 to 8 times a day) or get blurred vision in a hot bath!

Well the only difference I noticed was when I started adding vitamin b , I only started increasing my omega 3 in august and if anything thats when I started getting a little worse. I think its all related to the time of year! Its so predictable here! Second week in august things start getting a litt...

Hi, my first symptoms of MS (left below knee weakness and optic neuritis) were in 1997. I have had a total of 4 children(1994 - 2001). I had a stressful life event (daughter developed leukemia 2003) and I was then diagnosed 1 1/2 years later (when my immune system was probably the weakest) left leg ...

I agree its like clockwork! Every August and February!
Hawaii and San Diego have the most stable pressures in north america!
I even notice worsening of my symptoms with any weather changes where is a big change in barometric pressure!

Yes but wasn't it said that the brain cells were starving for glucose? And if so , does metformin affect all cells the same (brain cell, fat cells, muscle cells...) as far as insulin resistance goes? Wouldn't there be more cognitive symptoms of this starvation? Just trying to sort this all out in he...

What about exercises effect on fat cells vs muscle cells and cellular transport and its effect on the bbb and endorphins!

Very interesting! Hyperinsulinemia would explain the initial lower blood glucose levels during this phase of pre prediabetes and increase in cellular insulin resistance (insulin the storage hormone, also fat into fat cells). I find Barometric pressure changes (weather changes) and stress I find are ...
