This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

hi park! i'm 35 fem recently diagnosed and my 2cents are: eat right, now! don't wait for diagnosis, just look at where you can improve your diet and exercise and maybe you can head off further decline while the doctors dither. i think i've read it elsewhere on this site but will restate that some el...

hi there thanks for your info :) i know you are correct about the body making some of its own cholesterol but what i don't know is whether our bodies make enough for everything when you don't include dietary cholesterol for over a decade. i don't imagine good diet will help in only a few weeks - it ...

hi yea i read that there does seem to be low b12 and elevated homocysteine in your typical ms patient. i have had chronically low b12 due to dietary negligence but typically i think in ms sufferers there is a b12 absorption problem which drives up the homocysteine coz ur bod is not processing it pro...

hi i just recently got onto the non-autoimmune idea. while i've been looking at diet from the get-go, now i'm looking at how diet influences our body's hormone balance which can in turn affect ms. (3rd trimester studies). i think it was wikipedia where i read that our body builds progesterone (eleva...

hi there, u gotta love the mri jargon don't ya! i swear i spend half my time on wikipedia, figuring out what the hell everyone's talking about. for u, it sounds like they only shot u up with gadolinium (gd) on the first mri? gd is a chemical agent they put in so they can enhance/see lesion vs health...

hi, thanks, i do know my level is good, which is very nice - but i'm curious if there are many others with ms who have low homocysteine levels?

hi :D ne1 out there know their homocysteine level? i read a study that said the mean level in the ms group was around 13 mumol/l, and the mean for healthy controls was 10. a figure showed that max and min for each group was only about +/-2 around the mean. my hcy is 6. don't know what's up with that...

hi i think it is probably available for sub-c, but i just found a great quest product that comes in little red squares about the size of a stamp which dissolve on your tongue and are mint flavoured. i have put these into the daily regimen until i find out about the injections. should have more info ...

yep if u get sublingual b12 u want methylcobalamin which ur bod can use and apparently can also easily convert to adenosylcobalamin. cyanocobalamin is the most commonly sold form of oral or over-the-counter injectable b12. u can get sublingual methylcobalamin lozenges from natural factors and others...

hi

so i was just diagnosed 6 weeks ago. in the last week, my lhermitte's sign went away. so i'm curious - will the lesion that caused the lhermitte's still show up on the mri, or do lesions go back to looking like healthy tissue between attacks?

hi all, got sent this site and am checking it out for the first time. looks good so far :) so i was just diagnosed 6 weeks ago. in the last week, my lhermitte's sign went away. so i'm curious - will the lesion that caused it still show up on the mri, or do lesions go back to looking like healthy tis...
