Vitamins and supplements

Hi everyone! Long time no speak. Just out of curiosity, what vitamins/supplements does everyone take? I only take Vitamin D at the moment. Feel like I should be taking others.....

wahl's protocol and dmt's

My daughter has recently been diagnosed with MS and wants to follow the Wahl's protocol as well as take the DMT drug. However I'm worried that she may be stimulating the immune system while the drugs are repressing it. The MS diet eliminates as much as possible dairy,refined sugar,legumes and glut...

Turmeric as a Treatment?

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...

Dreams/Ambitions/Aspirations/Goals

I was just wondering if MS has hindered anyone from pursuing their dreams, their goals in life, their ambitions, their aspirations, or just made you rethink how you are going to get where you want to go.

What lead you to your MS diagnosis?

I would like to start a thread to find out how others found out lead others to their MS diagnosis... I found out I had MS by fluke and for that I am extremely grateful! I started out with what I can only describe as ‘my own legs not feeling like my own’...I got bloods done and found out I was defici...

It was confirmed, so I went to a...
