This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Hi everyone, i am a bit scared, not of MS, but of other motor neuron disorders really... please tell me does anyone else experience what i go through. So, a few years ago, i was in the best shape of my life, working out daily and lifting weights, eating clean, then i got norovirus (and also my test ...

My test came back positive for small bowel bacterial overgrowth

Update! So the neurologist says I am negative Lymes, as my test was "equivocal" and the only band positive was 66, except he didn't tell me that, i only know that because I have access to see my bloodwork. I have to agree with him... according to guidelines, you need to have so many bands ...

thanks for your reply! I am just so glad that finally after a year of feeling like roadkill finally I am going to get some answers. The worst feeling is when you don't feel well, and doctors don't help, so then you feel helpless because if you can't talk to your doctor then who do you go to? I thoug...

so guess what? the plot thickens even more. My Lyme Ab total w/reflex WB came back equivocol (meaning not negative not positive) so they will have to order western blot as next step I am assuming to rule out lymes disease... and if it is lymes, i will be glad cause it's an easy fix but really mad be...

Ok thank you so much!!! i have been checking all morning waiting for your reply, lol, thanks for getting back so fast!!!! Yes, that breathing feeling, that is exactly what i experience, like it feels like when i want to take in a deep breath i can't expand fully because it feels like an elephant is ...

PS. I wonder if what I eat is harming my kidneys.... I eat a lot of spinach, broccoli, sweet potatoes, green beans, cheddar cheese, whole milk, fortified cereals, about a lb of meat every day (lean chicken or wild fish), beef once a week, pork twice per week, eggs, carrots, basically i eat a ton of ...

Jimmmy legs where are you? Need your advice. And also to anyone else that knows about this stuff. I went to a neurologist for the muscle twitching that I've had about 7 months now, along with a feeling like the muscles in my cheeks are being pulled back towards my ears, and chest pressure/feeling li...

thanks jimmylegs!!! i will post what happens next... I think I am an interesting case. I am very curious to get the lactulose breath test done. I love researching this type stuff. Another theory I had, was that possibly I was eating TOO HEALTHY, as in all whole grain foods... which means I was eatin...

so i was taking the gaviscon (3 tablets) every day for about 11 days. Yesterday I didn't take it and took one magnesium oxide 250mg. And guess what? No twitching!!!! I took the pill in the morning with breakfast, and I didn't have any twitching until late last night (I guess by that time it was wear...

thanks! I never had zinc tested... and i wanted it tested but doctors just don't listen. I feel like even though i don't have celiac disease, i should be treated as one or similar to someone with small bowel disorder since i have the duodenal lymphocytosis. THey just treat me as someone with peptic ...

need help from jimmylegs or anyone else that is knowledgeable of magnesium supplements! I want to buy a mag supplement today, but there are so many, I don't know what to get. I want one that will not cause diarrhea, but one that i can absorb in my body since I seem to be unable to absorb it (could b...

Hi! I have been having ongoing problems for about 8 months now. I do not think I have MS. I think something similar may be going on. I think I have benign fasciculation syndrome. It is driving me insane. Now, my dad, his sister, and her daughter have MS and my symptoms are nothing like theirs. I jus...

HI Everyone... so I'm having another weird thing. Yesterday I woke up and had pins and needles in both hands, but worse in the right hand, it was going down my forearm into my pinky fingers and i had it from when i woke up until when i went to bed. I just woke up now and it's almost gone, just a lit...

Hi all, You know how i started incorporating some dairy in my diet (cottage cheese and cheddar cheese... also the almond milk about an 8 oz glass per day) well that, and I am taking Vitafusion Women's multivitamin which has 800 IU per day in it and 100 mg calcium in it. Well yesterday I incorporated...
