Was specifically prescribed Ergocalciferol 50000IU to be taken once a week for 2 months,
followed by Colecalciferol 1000IU twice daily for a month.

he gave me d1, to be taken once a week for a month. followed by d2 for another week/month. Doc will be prescribing me some supps, not sure what yet. I live in the tropics, kind of surprising I have a vit D deficiency. Be sure your doctor prescribes vitamin D3 rather than vitamin D2: Vitamin D2 is mu...

OK finally got the hydroxy-D test done. Was told it was low (9). Yes, that's deficient. You want 25-hydroxy D to be around 50 ng/mL. Are you taking D3 supplements? Along with D3, take some magnesium, e.g., about 200 mg magnesium as magnesium glycinate or magnesium citrate. Take it at a time separat...

Hi jimmy
Were those instances of vertigo positionally triggered?

Sorry for the sidetrack, but do ms patients usually suffer from positional vertigo? Just started experiencing the world spin when sitting up from lying flat.

Does my neuro make sense to suggest sleep apnea, or should I get checked for other conditions? Even in Singapore, a person could be vitamin D deficient. (Such a deficiency can result in the symptoms you describe, even the connection to sleep apnea.) If you have not had the vitamin D blood test call...

I understand you have had symptoms for 2 years and you're undiagnosed, but my confusion is why you believe you have undiagnosed Multiple Sclerosis.

Lately (past 3 weeks), I've been experiencing my both knees and thighs getting really weak and cram...

Not too sure what the fortification requirements are here, but thanks for all the nutrition tips. Anyway, I had another appointment with my neuro and had a nerve conduction test and a tilt test (think that's what it's called, had a bunch of wires attached to my chest and told to lie/stand) done. Was...

Polished white. And thanks for the magnesium tip, I'll definitely explore that.

As for the incontinence, I had a urine test done by my GP and he didn't find any infection.
I was prescribed Potassium Citrade mix and Flaxovate which seems to help somewhat.

Hello Jimmy, My typical diet consists of fish/white meats for protein, rice or noodles for carbs, leafy veggies and fresh fruit. I managed to see another nuero earlier today and he ruled out MS based on the MRI scan I had done in Sep 2015. He did look at one my earlier bloodwork reports and felt tha...

Hi everyone, 39 yo male here. I starting experiencing constant dizziness/lightheadness in Apr 2015, went to see a nuero and had an MRI done on my brain in Sep the same year. Was told by the nuero he could not find anything and the MRI was the best test possible. Starting around Feb 2016, I started e...
