Any MS diets?

Does anyone follow/recommend any sort of special anti-inflammatory diet for those with MS? I'm pretty healthy don't drink, don't smoke and practice very low impact yoga. I just wondered if anyone on here swears by a specific diet. Thank you x #diet #workandplay #nystagmus #tremor #yoga

It's refreshing since those around me sympathise but don't understand. ...

Hi 59 year old finally waking up to the challenges MS presents

My MS journey started in 1989 with what transpired to be optic neuritis. Living in London in a bachelor pad that resembled a scene from the movie Animal House after a major relapse and a dose of steroids life went on. Yes rugby was a non starter but the chaos of a 20 year old continued at a ridiculo...

Immune system

Hi all, Do you think MS or the drugs play with your immune system. I work full time and in a school and always seem to get hit quite bad with colds, coughs, throat problems. Can it be classed as connected to MS? Worried about having time off.

What a weekend...

Well after looking forward to having my first Easter weekend off work for 7 years my MS has played up. Started with pain in my left hand and an ice pack seemed to help with this.

Dear cold, chest infection, and MS, why can't you all play nicely?

Is anyone else suffering with nasty winter bugs at the moment? I feel dreadful. I'm not long back at work after being diagnosed with RRMS in November, and this is the last thing I need. I'm feeling lots of twitches. Is this normal when you have a cold/chest infection and MS? Am exhausted too......
