This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

I've never been on the pill and still wound up with MS...

Yes, I follow the Swank Diet. I enjoy the energy that it gives me, and I really believe that getting good foods is imperative for people with MS. It is very simple to follow. I would recommend getting the Swank book.

I don't have any experience, but I know that several people have gotten them for free. Try: http://www.msassociation.org/programs/cooling/

I do not have that problem.

BUT, you may want to head to your doctor. Increased thirst, such as what you are describing, is one of the first symptoms of diabetes.

I can totally relate to you right now. I am currently numb from my waist down, including my genital region (which appear to be the most numb). I am female, but it is also driving me crazy when it comes to sex. I have hope that the feeling will return shortly, but in the meantime, I am trying to enjo...

JL- what form of magnesium do you think gets absorbed the best? I was told to take magnesium citrate.... but it really makes me run for the bathroom.

Assuming that every symptom we have is NOT related to MS, did the ER docs check your gallbladder?? Those are the symptoms of a gallbladder attack.

uva ursi is another godsend that saved me from abx for UTIs. plus acidophilus. miraculously awesome. since i discovered those i have only had one infection where i was forced to resort to abx, in over 15 yrs. I also use Uva Ursi for UTI's and it works wonders! They say that it acts as an antiseptic...

I am also in the DFW area, and although I have not had the procedure yet, I am VERY interested.
