Thoughts on diet, Whal’s Protocol

Hi all, I am new here. I was diagnosed 3 years ago. I take teriflunomide but my first inclination was to try to combat symptoms with food. I heard about Dr. Terry Whal’s story and the diet and decided to dive in. I bought the book and her recipe book and it sat on my desk for about 4 months. I...

Diagnosis, relationship, break-up, rant, etc...

I recently went through a #breakup after a 3-year long #relationship. I think my diagnosis hit my partner really hard... harder than it hit me. She didn’t know how to deal with the sadness I was feeling for almost a year. She really wanted to help she really wanted to be there for me but didn’t know...

Hi, my name is Grace I am 19yrs old, Born and Raised in Philly. I never really knew much about MS though I do have 2 family members who have it. I have been experiencing numbness, tingling, sciatica, fatigue, double vision, itching and tingling sensation in my skin, tremors, weakness in my arms and legs, balance issues, etc… I went to see my Primary and she said it could be MS, though I do have some other things going on. She ordered a MRI for me but they didn’t really find anything. I went to see a Neurologist and he looked over my scans and suggested I get a another MRI just to be sure and this time lthey are looking at the whole spine. I sometimes I feel like I may not be taken seriously because of my age. But hopefully I can figure out what’s going on with me because this whole process has been tiring and frustrating. But the MRI is at the end of the month so I guess we’ll see.

Has anybody ever experienced Optic neuritis? If so what helped also extreme fatigue and weakness. What helped with that as well. I’ve been diagnosed with RRMS in 2022 l. This is my first bad flare up.

Ok I’m the old man here but I was wondering do doctors not prescribe IV Steriods 500-1000mg for 3-5 dayzs I’ve had 3 over the past 20 years when I had bouts of numbness and or weakness. For me they were a gift from GOD. I see all these young folks talking about weakness and numbness and was just wondering. I word of warning. Steroids to cataracts are like gasoline to a fire.
