This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Just got a call from my GPS office referring me to a spine specialist. They said my brain was clear and that my neck has protruding disks and spinal stenosis. No signs of ms. They didn't do an mri of my spine. Just neck and brain. I'm going to continue to research deficiencies. I have a hard time be...

Thank you very much. Not sure that I will call my doctor or just wait until the 17th. A nutritionist would be good. ...and I know a few as friends so I could always inquire. I know what you mean about doctors, I've had several as clients...and ya....some not the healthiest bunch when it comes to wha...

Thank you for all of your knowledge. This is a LOT of information to take in. I will be reading up on all of it and discussing it with my gp. They only did an mri without contrast yesterday....shouldn't they do both? Also, I asked them if they are gonna read it they said yes but we can't tell u anyt...

Also, do you HAVE to have a spinal tap?? I don't want to!

It's ok. I'm honestly starting to slowly get used to it.
So are vitamin deficiencies linked to ms....or is it rather that deficiencies are misdiagnosed as ms?
I really just want to know already so that I can figure out what exactly i need to do in order to get back to my old self.

I've seen a tv ad for one of these machines a few times. At first, I thought of those old timey machines...but then I wonder and think, it might be helpful. What I'm wondering now is, what did your PT suggest for stiff legs? I am going to use one for the first time tonight. I will inquire about sti...

Hello, I spent about an hour walking in the pool today. (First time in ages) I also have hip dysplasia, so any high impact is out. My legs felt fine in the pool, yet when I got out, they felt like rubber, and I had zero balance. Is it possible I spent too long in the pool? I feel fine now, so what ...

Hello Everyone! I will try to make a long story short here. I'm a 38 yr old mother of 3, and have worked in the fitness industry for approx 6 yrs now. In those 6 yrs I have been very active and always considered myself to be in optimal shape. I was up until this past yr basically one of the stronges...

I had a really bad night last night with symptoms, and a bad day today. I have an interview at a new gym today and I just start to wonder if it's nerves from all this waiting.

It says dl-alpha This all sounds so confusing. See...this is why I never bothered with supplements before. I was always healthy and my body felt good. I always figured why mess with it? Thank you for all of your help and patience. I'm so nervous and can't wait for this to be over. I keep going back ...

Nature's Bounty time released b complex, and nature made E vitamin 400 IU

yep absolutely, this sounds very much like your body's nutritional demands exceed inputs. there is quite a catalogue of literature on nutrient depletion in athletes. it seems quite likely that you have one or more nutrient deficits even against targets designed for average non-athlete joe. you'll m...

Ugh. This all sounds very scary. I am 38 yrs old with 3 young children. I have my mri's tomorrow and then the visit with my doctor in January. I will ask her for a referral to an eye doctor.
Thank you for your responses.

ah lifting OK that makes sense, can you elaborate on that and any other of your fitness activities? there is a distinct set of active folks who arrive here based on symptoms. Really?!? That's kind of what I've been trying to research, and haven't really come up with anything. I almost feel like it ...

In the process of all that 3 fractured vertebrae were discovered . ...so right now I'm trying to get through all of this in order to see if all of these weird symptoms are nerve damage from my back or something autoimmune. The first discovered function for vitamin D was bone health. A Survey of Vit...
