My Ms Symptoms Are Improving

I have had many MS symptoms for about 7-8 years now, and i was progressively getting worse with time. I started with vision problems, then i got balance issues, numb hands and feet, I eventually started to walk like i was slightly drunk, and I saw flashing lights, my memory got progressively worse, and my speech was slurred. I eventually went to see a neuro, who gave me an MRI and they found plaque on my brain. I have also been diagnosed with sleep apnea, I was given a breating machine for my sleep, which has helped me improve slightly. Since then I have made many lifestyle changes which have improved my syptoms dramatically. I have changed my diet, exercised, cut out caffeine, meditated, taken supplements and vitamins and have reduced my work hours. I have started this about a year ago, and just now am I starting to see results, for the past month or so I have been feeling rather well. I am not selling anything, I just wanna try to help others, cause I know how desperate one can feel. I AM NOT A MEDICAL DOCTOR, this is just my experience. I will check this site weekly, if anyone has any questions.

My diet just basically follows, what we have been told for years, avoid trans fats, eat lots of fruits and veggies, cut out red meat, CUT OUT CAFFEINE, try to cut out as many preservatives, artificial colours, artificial flavors, artificial, sweetners (ei:aspartame) and cut out sugar as much as possible.

My supplements are vitamine D 4000 UI, cod liver oil, omega 3-6-9, stable probiotics(acidophilus, rhamnosus, longum) flax seed oil.

My exercise includes weight training, aerobics and walking. ( I found the aerobics has helped the most)

Bye for now.

Re: My Ms Symptoms Are Improving

So happy to hear you are feeling so much better. Changing ones diet to be more healthy and getting more exercise is going to be better for anyone regardless of whether they have MS or not. I am a huge fan of meditation and believe that if you have a calm spirit, you can "see" things a little more clear and make better decisions about your life.

Good luck with your program. Thank you for sharing your success. It is something to look into.

Re: My Ms Symptoms Are Improving

blinson, that's great to hear. If you roam around the site you will see that some of us here are trying to treat our MS naturally in lieu of traditional medication and there are those who DO take MS drugs who supplement and have been having success. More success stories always welcome!

Do you still see a neuro and/or MS specialist and if so, have there been any changes on your MRIs?
