This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

I saw a nutritionist the day after my last post and she started me on magnesium, calcium, b complex, vitamin D (she was familiar with the grassroots site and hey we are in CA!) omega 3 (but I had to stop that yesterday in prep for spinal tap I guess it affects bleeding) Since everyone can respond d...

Just a couple nights ago, my husband and I watched an episode of the series Parched on the National Geographic Channel. It focused on the seawater desalination in Israel – something that we knew nothing about. There was no mention of desalination removing magnesium. By the way, I have read somewhere...

My mom has MS. she was diagnosed when I was 9. I am now 35. She is 60. It progressed pretty quickly. She's been bed ridden for 6 years or so. Her legs have atrophied to the point that they just look like skin and bone. It kills me. She was such a vibrant beautiful young woman. She enjoyed life and ...

About exams: Full blood test including B12 deficiency, inflammations, even a HLA-B27 test, all came back normal and negative for B27 protein. Did EMG of upper arms, normal (I don't know if this is true but I read in some articles that the EMG is better done when you know what you're looking for bec...

Hi. My name is Victoria (36 yrs old) and I'm new to this site. I was diagnosed in 2011 and my problems with being fatigued have increased over the years.I ran several 5ks in the past but now Im too tired and I get overheated very easily. I want to start running again. How do I deal with the fatigue...

......there is definitely something going on with me and I need to address it. (My Vit D came back at 21 ng/mL) My first test result was 24 ng/mL. You may be interested in the GrassrootsHealth Newsletter, March 9, 2017, “March is Multiple Sclerosis Month”, featuring Dr. Cicero Galli Coimbra: http:/...

Results of D hydroxy in- 34.7 ng/ml so I will start supplementing with this and magnesium and prob b complex for good measure hahaha Rather than doing your own independent unsupervised supplementation program, please discuss a plan and work with your doctors. If your GP (or another doctor) doesn't ...

Neurologist thinks Lyme or MS. Drew the D level (hydroxy 25 ) at my request and also a Lyme titre. Lyme takes 7 business days for results. If those are negative then I will have a lumbar puncture. I went for a massage last night which was horrifically painful but I felt good after, looser etc. toda...

I am most interested in your description of your daughter as "a recovering autistic daughter." I am recovering her in multiple ways. We see a MAPS Doctor out here and he runs tests your typical pediatrician does not. We use methods like ACC (Andrew Ctler Chelation) to help detox heavy met...

Neurologist today............ Will ask for the D test and hoping I didnt mess up any results by taking this supplements yesterday. I doubt that starting vitamin D supplements yesterday will affect your test today. I suspect that the dosage of your vitamin D supplement is nowhere near the amount of ...

Sunday i woke up at 3 am with buzzing in my hands and feet. By 6 am couldn't walk well (but I could walk it just felt weird like my legs weren't there but I could still feel them) or use my arms because when I tried they felt fatigued and painful and my fingers wouldn't cooperate with anything. My ...

My Neuro has scheduled me an MRI with and without contrast. I am a biomedical healing mama (mother of a recovering autistic daughter ). I have read many studies that indicated contrast is very toxic and I would like to opt out of it and just do a scan without. My question is, is contrast detrimenta...

Hi everyone. I'm a 33 year old female, diagnosed with MS in March 2015. I had two relapses back to back, but haven't had any relapses since May 2015. I feel almost normal most of the time, except for one thing. When my body temperature rises, I start to sweat profusely on my face and scalp . It doe...
