On Pain

In the past week, I've had the MS add spasms and neuropathy to a sciatica I'd been wrangling in the past month. I used to be not sporty by any measure, but active. Keen in walking, 12k+ a day. Now I walk with a stick. It is difficult to come to terms with, but I am blessed with a great clinical tea...

I’m working on my PhD looking at foot and lower limb health in people with MS (I’m a Podiatrist). I’m here f...

Hello! Has anybody tried the Wahls protocol diet? Any success stories, or otherwise?! I have done a lot of research and reading and it all sounds very positive, I tried it for a month and I must admit I felt amazing. Although I don’t really have severe symptoms to notice a massive change, but the fe...

Hello - I look forward to sharing with you

Hello! I just joined the group! Thank you for having me! A little bit about myself: I was diagnosed with MS in 2017. I'm 50 and a father of 2 kids. From 2017 to 2019, I tried 2 DMDs for a week each and got nasty. Incontinence, fogginess, numbness in my extremities, fatigue, and I couldn't talk. Sinc...
