This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Hi - I started using a wheelchair a few years ago and I found the same as gymbuff. I can get out & about, move at a decent pace and not fall over continuously. Far less exhausting too. I was really self concious at first but now it's just part of me. I did manage to get a really good chair with ...

Don't worry hun. I'm ok about it. Reu is amazing. I think I got the baby I was meant to have. He is Mr laid back, hilarious and so beautiful! Prob won't pm today. Alone with Reu til late.

I will pm you a food diary Jimmylegs, thanks v much! Wow - that post was a long time ago - and another baby that didn't make it! I think my diet is pretty good - I am doing weightwachers so plenty of lean meats and fresh fruit and veg. I know I eat too much evil aspartame tho.

They don't do that kind of bloodwork in the UK Jimmylegs. I could try my GP but it's unlikely tbh I am a fool and have not even been taking breastfeeding mum supplements. I took iron (big blood loss with delivery) for a while and vit d but keep forgetting now. What supplements / diet changes would y...

Hi Sorry I have been so absent. I keep meaning to come on and say hi. I seem t be having a continual downward trend with the MS this year, starting with painful hypersensitivity that began on New Years day and lasted 6 weeks to today's arrival of optic neuritis. My legs have gotten really bad - spas...

He was 7lb 9oz and is now a whopping 10lb 6oz! Seems huge to me now!

Thanks Jimmy - he was definitely a long time coming but totally worth it. I'll never forget the babies we lost but when I look at Reu I know he was meant to be mine.

Encouraging more pics is not wise Jimmy - I can't stop taking them! He is so amazing. Here are a few more. I can talk about the joys of motherhood and MS another time 6 hours old http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f107/bouncebird/Reuben/101_0896.jpg 2 days old http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f107/b...

Hi! I know it's been long time no see, sorry. I just wanted to pop on and let you know that on 13th June I gave birth to a beautiful little boy called Reuben Henry. He's now 8 weeks old & doing great.

Here's Reu!

Bubba - I also disagree! I'm 30 weeks pregnant and may slap the next helthcare professional who assumes that my MS has vanished becasue I am pregnant! In fairness things are less bad than they were but far from perfect!

Loobie - you may want the lactating as breastfeeding is also good for MS!

Hi Sorry I have been awol for a while, I still mostly like to bury my head in the sand and pretend I don't have MS, despite the chair & crutches!! I am 28 weeks pregnant and have just been told by the dr that she won't agree to a c-section yet. She wants me to try and give birth naturally first ...

Tea tree oil can also really help.

I took terbinafine and was fine on it, it cleared me up with no probs but my liver was fine before. My husband has been on it for a few yesrs (his feet were minging) and no side effects.

Hi Sorry I haven't been around in quite a while. I'm hoping you guys can help me. I'm 15 weeks pregnant and as it looks like this one is actually going to stick, I am trying to find out everything I can about Copaxone & breastfeeding. I have been told that my neuro won't prescribe it to me if I ...

This isn't gabapentin - it's a supplement that can be bought in health food shops. \I did wonder what the link waas though.

Good reason to avoid exercise!

I have had this recommended to me as potential pain relief. Has anybody heard of it & if so, is it effective?

I've been having painful MS Hug - ribcage spasms for over a week now.
