Has anyone had benefits from cutting out meat?

I heard that cutting down on/cutting meat out of your diet can slow the progression of MS. Has anyone found that it's helped their symptoms at all please? Legit willing to try anything at the moment 😂🤞🏻 #diet #healthyliving #meatfree #rrms

Blackouts and MS

Hi, I have mobility issues- I struggle to walk. I have had MS for 7.5 years. I was washing up this morning, I turned around (not fast as my legs don't allow) and the next thing, my husband is picking me up from the floor. He said I didn't shout out, I just went down with my eyes open. I didn't respo...

Water and sun

Switching to Tecfidera after getting off avonex this weekend and was wondering if I can lay out in the sun. I heard that a lot of sun is not good for you when you have MS. As with avonox I was to drink lots of water, stay hydrated. Do I need to do that as well with tecfidera?

Drinking

I've not had a drink in a while, I had a blow out the other week.. I feel it's really set me back even over a week later, I know it can cause internal damage brain shrinkage. I don't like the hangovers or really going out. I'd rather do something in the day time. Think my clubbing days are over, but...

I recently bought a walking stick to help me balance as my right leg is the weaker one. But todays trip I really really struggled with. Kept ha...

Blue Radar Key, i had never heard of it

Is this normal-Tysabri

Hey folks I started on Tysabri infusions. At the beginning of June. Literally, within 2 days I was like a new person. My cog fog pretty much vanished, my cognitive processing was sharp and my fatigue was gone! I completed things that I pretty much gave up any hope of doing. I was mindful though tha...

Now What?!

I'm still going through all the diagnosis, so I don't know which form of MS I have just yet. I have had quite a whirlwind of 2 weeks, I went to the Dr's complaining of numbness and tingling in my right leg, completely expecting him to say I've over done it mowing the lawn and to take some painkille...

Cortisone sucks

I was struck down a week ago with a lung infection. Boy it sucks! I can barely breathe and to make matters worse my GP gave me cortisone, like it's the miracle cure for everything under the goddamn sun. I have the shakes, the sour taste in my mouth, the acne on my neck, everything... I battle with s...

Abilities as the day goes on

Hi everyone, I really noticed when socialising later in the day (between 5-6pm) I really struggled cognitively. I found it hard to understand what others were saying or follow conversation. Anyone else find they find this? Thanks everyone.

Footdrop?

So recently I've fallen over a LOT. Ironically the one time I don't think it was related to me being a klutz/having footdrop is in February when I slipped in some mud and fractured my wrist. However, friends/family etc are determined to put everything down to my MS. My question is, I don't have any...

Vitamins

What dosage of vitamin D are we supposed to take? I think my prescribed dose of 1000 may be too low but I'm not sure. I also take vitamin C, multivitamins with minerals, cod liver oil and magnesium tablets. What vitamins do you take?
