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

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.

Truth is I am scared...

I was diagnosed last year after MS throw. This week I have my first MRI since then (I take Tecfidera). And I'm stressed and scared, although I try to keep my nerves under control. It's still new to me. And besides, I'm a mother of a four-year-old and I want to be in the best condition for him.
