This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

tzootsi, Coimbra protocol works for all: RRMS, SPMS, PPMS. Vitamin D in high doses literally stops the progression. The high dose is determined during the first year. After disease activity becomes 0, that exact dose will be prescribed for a rest of your life. Usually doctors want to follow patient ...

Do you know your PTH value?

One patient was forced to take 160,000IU per day until his PTH dropped to lowest value. So the dose is really individual . I take 70,000IU and my PTH is now 8.0.
So I'm happy with that and I feel great, symptom free ;)

PointsNorth, I'm sorry to hear high doses of vitamin D is not working for you so far. You are very unlucky. Most of patients are enjoying improvements every day, including me. Stay on protocol, I just read the other day that one male 51 years old started to walk again. He has MS for 15 years and was...

ElliotB,
would you eat the meat if you won't be able to find or afford grass fed meat?

And of course everyone is already aware of this trial:

High doses of vitamin D3 have been tested to as much as 280,000 IU/week without significant impact on MS. Squeakycat, 280,000 IU/week could be just to not enough. Besides, "the number of gadolinium-enhancing lesions per patient (assessed with a nuclear magnetic brain scan) decreased from the in...

Question to veterans: do you remember similar gene research announcements in the past?

Hi Mrmr, I was in similar situation 5 months ago. I had my first attack, which affected by walking and hands. I was suggested to take REBIF 44mcg x 3 a week. I have many lesions in my brain and 34 in spinal cord. So I started taking REBIF. Everything went fine with doses 8mcg , 22mcg. With 44mcg I h...

Hello, I bought brain MRI. I have quite interesting history of my family. 20 years ago my mother was warned by a professor that all members should take vitamin D then she had problems with CNS inflammation. At that time, my mother didn't took words seriously. My grandfather has severe alzhaimer. Mot...

Here in Lithuania, no. I was told that MS is being treated as in all western countries and other options are not considered. Neuros confirmed that Vitamin D is important and even prescribes in megadoses to other patients. Funny part, megadose according neuros is 1000 IU. I just decided not to argue ...

I'm targeting to keep at least 200 nmol/l level, read that PwMS are in remission if D is high enough. 6 months after diagnosis and feeling better than ever.
And I will see that what dosage neuro will prescribe for following Coimbra's protocol.

EricDrakem, are you sure D3 2000 IU is enough? Have you checked your level? Here is my vitamin D progress: Date 2015-03-04 25-OH Vitaminas D 53.5* 75,00-100,00 nmol/l (deficient) Started taking vitamin D3 10 000 IU. Date 2015-05-26 25-OH Vitaminas D 175.00* 75.00-100.00 nmol/l (surpass normal range)

To my understanding grey matter what matters. I didn't find any study showing positive impact on grey matter then using interferon. Besides, who knows what REBIF really does inside our body? Attacks are scary, so is progression. Another point - I cannot chose DMD so easily, REBIF or nothing :) My si...

Hello everyone, first post, however it won't be nice introduction. So I have been to neuro today and decided to quit rebif after 5 month. I had such big pressure from neuros after just saying that. At one moment I was lost and didn't knew what to do. Right away after diagnosis I was told that my pro...
