Hi Kiki, So far I've only had the 2, nothing that I know have has happenned since in regards to those "episodes". Sorry you're going thru this. I had (finally) my neck and spine MRI last Monday. I hope to be getting a call from my Neuro this week for results. I'll discuss with her then. Th...

Hi Everyone, I hoping for a little info maybe? I replied to a post in the "Intro" forum, and though I'd post here as well. Sorry if this topic has been covered before, but I haven't found quite the answers I'm looking for. I've copied and pasted by previous post so here it is: I'm not sure...

Hi Kiki! I'm replying to this post, because I'm not sure if what I've experienced would be classified as a seizure or not, and I haven't found anything in articles or forums that would explain it. I'm still in the process of being diagnosed, and finally have a full spin MRI this coming Monday! My br...

huh. As you know (Jimmylegs) we've discussed zinc before. I am taking 18mg of zinc in my supplement. I still have my req for zinc serum count... better go make the appt now. But I will not even try to eat anything gluten to test it that theory... It's that bad for me... esp the migraines. I'd take b...

Hi Stephie, Sorry that you're going thru all this. I started having problems in my late teens early 20's, but I'm one of those bloody suffer in silence types, and didn't do much about it till my 30s... and still waiting for answers in my 40s. It's good to see that you're keeping up on this. Don't gi...

hey everyone! just wondering about creatine supplementation and effects on the liver. It's my understanding extra creatine supplementation over stresses the liver and can lead to liver disease if used improperly. But then again, I'm still learning when it comes to MS. Wishing everyone well, as always!

I've had constipation and hemmoroids for quite some time now.... they'll sometimes bleed for days. I can't have bran, so I stick to lots of greens, and prunes are great. I also take a fiber supplement (gluten-free). Another thing I was wondering, since your scans came back clear, but you are having ...

Thanks so much, I have an appt already with my GP for Monday so I'll ask then to get it done. And once I have the results, I'll post and we can discuss!

Thx again, and as always, wishing you well!

Hi jimmylegs! On another post you asked about my zinc serum count. That got me looking into things. I've never had my zinc looked at. It doesn't seem to be a standard on blood tests (and I've had ohhh, about a million). But it got me digging around a bit. I take a supplement that allows for 18mg/day...

Hi Euphonia! That was funny about your 3 things in your eye, though at the time it probably wasn't. Dr D, thanks again for your insight ;). Anyway, I use to take fish oils, but I started taking chia seeds because their EFAs, calcium, fiber & protein. I think I'll get back into them. I have a rea...

Hi I've been enjoying this post about diet or rather proper nutrition. I agree that no fad diet is right, just good proper sense. I've read "Eat-Clean Diet" and "Eat Right for your Blood Type", "Food and Mood", and we need a variety of foods for our health. I eat a lot ...

I would not recommend Herbal Magic. There are many herbs that you should not use with MS or autoimmune disorders. Anything that stimulates your immune system should not be used. I made the mistake of taking an immune system booster (although I'm still not diagnosed with anything) without really thin...

what? not alcohol! 8O LOL! I like to have a glass of wine (or two) now and then! Well, I have no food allergies, just gluten intolerant. I have 2 friends with fibromyalgia, and I've talked to them both about their symptoms... there are more differences than similarities. Between the two of them, the...

Thanks jml, I appreciate that our situations are similar. I am gluten intolerant and I've been reading a lot lately about the relationship of gluten intolerance/celiac disease and neurological disorders. I've been told by 2 Dr's I probably have MS, 2 Dr's that I don't have MS, and 1 Neuro who says t...

Hello?

Can anyone tell me if symptoms remained constant and same for a long period of time, like 3 months? or do they only last a few days, and not show up for several weeks again? I'm very curious.

Thanks!
