This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Thanks Jimmylegs A lot of good info. I am eating fish a few times a week now. I will be making more of a conscious effort to add more of those food groups you mentioned. The chart in the link about how much VitD3 to supplements vs current status was helpful. I will be adding the vitamin Bs you menti...

Jimmylegs, Thanks for offering to take a look at my supplements. I have been reading about the Wahl protocol but have held off on adding a lot ofadditional supplements with no guidance. I currently take the following: morning 200mg magnesium glycinate 20mg Prilosec 750 mg Tumeric with Pepper Evening...

Snoopy, Thanks for your response. I did see a psychiatrist. Was given some Xanax to use as needed. I did add the magnesium Jimmylegs suggested. My anxiety is down a notch. I think it is because I have begun to accept a may have MS. Just found out the other day my MS doc is having me get another mri ...

Just to follow up. I did start the magnesium glycate. The anxiety is slightly better. My symptoms continue to get worse to be so I have begun to accept that I really have MS. I suspect that this may be the main reason my anxiety is down. I am now interested in getting the IV steroids. I am not sure ...

Gabapentin makes me tired and forgetful.

It sounds like just what I need. Going to give it a shot later tonight after the kids are in bed. Just was certain pain and feeling to give me a break for at least a little while.

So my symptoms today are numbness on my lower spine and hard pressure on my left buttocks like someone is trying to push their thumb through hard, and some tingling down my calf to my foot. Every now and then I am feeling a tingle or numbness on my inner thigh close to my groin. While this is going ...

Thanks. I will ask about those tests but I’m not sure he will order. I focused on work stuff today. At least I was able to concentrate. Thanks for sending the stuff on the nuts and crohns. I really wish my symptoms would go away. My leg is in pain right now. Is there a reason why the doc seamed resi...

Very interesting Jimmy. I’m going to call tomorrow for blood tests. I already had some anxiety issues prior to crohns. When the crohns diagnosis came it did make sense although I never really had diarrhea. The pain made sense. ( I had hernia surgery in the spots where my crohns pain was). When I loo...

Elliot, I am definitely prepared to make lifestyle changes. I am willing to do virtually anything if it will work. I have already drastically changed my diet to deal with the crohns with no meds. I just need to know what to do. First I will start eating more foods with magnesium. Also starting exerc...

Ok. The Vitamin D is 23.4 ng/ml The label on the magnesium says it’s magnesium oxide. But it also contains soy. Which I am not supposed to have not the SCD diet so I will get the magnesium supplement you suggested. I have 5000iu vitamin D3 capsules. Do you think I should hold off on these until I ge...

Ok. I have my blood test. vitamin B12 is 511 pg/ml. The folate is 8.1 ng/ml. Vitamin D, 25 hydroxy is 23.4. They didn’t test for magnesium. My wife does take magnesium. We have Natures Made High potency Magnesium. 400/mg. Do you think this is good magnesium for me to supplement? I too agree that wha...

Jimmy and Elliot Thank you both so much for your responses. I feel so alone with this right now. I am currently on the SCD diet. I’ve been doing this diet about a month and it is helping with the crohns. It is very restrictive with the theory to starve the bad bacteria by not eating sugar, grain, st...

I think my anxiety is going to get the best of me before my medical issues. In August 2017 I was diagnosed with crohns they told me I needed Humira which I started in December and stopped on Feb 1 due to neurological issues. My left leg has strange pressure feeling on my hip and I get tlngling and t...
