Thanks Jay...I should live by those rules...I am definitely the type of person who "over does" things...as soon as I feel a bit better I do way too much, I am trying to learn not to do this.

I am not over familiar with the "swank diet" but when I got ill, I stopped eating wheat and dairy and included lots of healthy foods and supplements. I have noticed that everytime I go off this diet I get an attack of something. Also stress is a major trigger for me.

I live everyday with all my Sx (the numbness and fatigue, visual probs), I have not had a day where I felt like I did before (before I got ill). I do remember when I first got ill not being ill in between and have totally normal days (that was about 8 years ago)

Before a person is progressive would they have multiple lesions on the MRI scan? Can a person like me be already progressive with an EDSS of 1? or to be progressive must you be further along the scale?

Other than the Swank diet what else have you been doing?

Thanks for taking the time to write
