Hi Mommyof5, I have been thinking about your question awhile ago about diet - Caffenine and chocolate are things to stay away from also. I don't drink coffee but who can realistically give up...
I had optic neurits (no pain though) when I was pregnant so nothing could be done to stop it at the time. I saw an neuroopthamologist (my neurologist refered me) I had to sit and put my face in this...
Wow. Every single MS case is different. I can't walk without the use of crutches and am wheelchair-bound much of the time but I can wiggle my toes. I will pray for you and your father that you find...
Ms. D, You may have read that I was diagnosed with MS 10 years ago and am currently confined to a whellchair almost all of the time. I have #1 and #3. I have found that stress plays a BIG role in the...

Hi Mommy of5! It's Jennifer (brnsug0945). I had optic neuritis when I was pregnant and there was nothing to do about it. Let's see... what do I eat? Well, I do a South Beach diet. Low in carbs (they...
I see an MRT (muscle release technique) therapist for similar muscle and pain issues that you described. I'm in Michigan and he practices not too far from my house but perhaps a google search can...
I think it was too bad Copaxone didn't work out as well. It has for=ced me to seek other avenues. It's Jennifer by the way. Thanks for the welcome. Even though I have had MS for so long, ttalking...
I was diagnosed 10 years ago. I was 18. "You have MS, you're goona go blind, you're gonna die." No one believes that a doctor said that but it is the truth! My first response was that I was going to...

My cousin gave me the Swank Diet book because we both have MS. She was just diagnosed a year ago and I was 10 years ago. Even though the Swank diet worked well for her, itdid not do well with me....
