Hi! my name is Kim. I have had MS since 2013. Looking for some insight on how to live healthy with MS. If anyone can give me advise on who to talk to get to be healthy and what to eat and what exercises should be done.
My experience of using cannabis as an alternative to using prescribed drugs to aid my MS symptoms.
Having been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in April 2004, I have gone through Relapsing Remitting (RRMS), Secondary Progressive (SPMS) and now for the past couple of years find myself at the Prim...
So….
I saw the neuro and have just received ‘the letter’.
It says… “Possible sensory cervical transverse myelitis? …demyelination. I am awaiting an appointment for MRI’s on brain and c spine. Most of the tests he carried out seemed to not turn up any negative results. It says that the lower limb exa...
Morning all! Hope you are well. So as u may or may not know I am a qualified nutritionist. I have set up my own website and work at 2 clinics in London. I do also do skype consultations. Diet and healthy living is extremely important for everyone but especially when you have a condition like ours. A...
1. I hope you get better.
2. Jesus will heal you if you just keep praying.
3. My neighbor Amy has multiple sclerosis, do you know her?
4. Yeah, but you’re not actually properly disabled, are you?
5. H-E-L-L-O! HOWWWW ARE YOUUU?
6. Were you born that way?
7. You don’t look sick to me.
8. How do you ...
Hi everyone,
I know that it just isn't possible to stay positive all the time in the face of MS, and we shouldn't be expected to, sometimes it's tough and we just need to let ourselves feel how we do in that moment. BUT I would really love it if from time to time we could all share something that w...
I've seen this list before, but it may be useful.
What living with MS feels like..:-
When We say we can’t do something because we don’t feel well, put yourself in our shoes by using the examples of our symptoms below…
Painful Heavy Legs: Apply Tightly 20 LB ankle weights and 15 LB thigh wei...
Hi everyone! I would like to know who is taking vitamin D and what differeces has it made?
I have been taking mine for about 1 month, 2000iu, and I feel good, but I'm thinking of upgrading to 4000iu. I have a friend that is not taking any medicine and is getting really depressed because nothing he...
I just want to say I am really sick and tired of not being able to walk without a crutch or my gofer or freezing when I need to step up a high side curb. I do get to the point that I don't want to go out because people feel sorry for me just want to be how I was 15years ago.
OK got that out :-)
It struck me this weekend that people with MS are actually probably particularly well equipped to deal with the coronavirus outbreak. Compared to the rest of the population, we are all used to:
- Being stuck in limbo, nobody can ever tell us how long something will last and if it will be permanent,...
My birthday is in April and I know a few ms'ers who were also born in the early spring (mothers pregnant during winter no summer sun low vitamin D) wonder how this fits with everyone on here.
Cheers Chris.
Sometimes it"s great being a bloke because God gave me a penis AND a brain;but unfortunately I don"t have enough blood to run them both at the same time! XXX
Hi guys 👋
I'm now SPMS and everything is getting decidedly more difficult. Showering in particular is a major hazard in many ways. My right side is good but my left side is affected by spasticity. I'm right handed and can't do a lot with the left due to weakness and proprioception issues. So...
Hey everyone!
I was wondering if anyone here has used large amounts of turmeric as a treatment? I'm a fan of 'natural' treatments as much as possible and have heard great things about turmeric and ginger. If you have tried either of these holistic approaches (or another!), did you like it? Did yo...
Ok, big breath… so…
I am thinking about getting a wheelchair.
I hate the idea – I have no intention of being parked in the corner of a room under a crocheted blanked sipping luke-warm tea and eating egg sandwiches, but I am sick of not having a life.
I have now been using crutches for 5 months. My...
Who else is looking forward to winter? This heat is killing me! I'm as weak as a kitten and I have no energy to do anything. I just spent half an hour cooking then I felt too crap to eat it. Not good!
I am just reading a book about food intolerances and allergies.This is a new one on me ,have never seen this mentioned anywhere else.
"One new theory is that chocolate plays a part in developing MS.Clearly it does not produce ms in everyone,but there may be a small number of people who are unusuall...
Aw man, I never thought this would happen but I'm starting to feel really jealous of healthy (non-ms) people :( I feel jealous when I see ppl just walking around by themselves, jealous of [[; carrying things without fear of dropping it/spilling things, jealous of ppl who can see clearly and read sig...
I am newly diagnosed with CIS. My original symptoms (right leg and arm issues) have completely remitted, but I am still so very tired all the time. Has anyone had any luck with natural remedies for fatigue? I take herbs daily to help boost my immune system as everyone around me is sick. I have b...
