I don’t feel like it is though! It’s easy compared to all the MS possibilities that we don’t get a choice in. This is easier than OMS even, though I do miss my veggie stir fry and bowls of fresh fruit, because I feel so much better. I’m starting to associate all other foods and alcohol with feeling terrible. Funny thing, I started drinking wine because of a study that said it was good for MS.
Apparently I can’t do them either! I’ve never been this weak before in my memory. My body started changing 6 months ago and I guess this new normal is going to stick. I started on Sunday, did very little, and am still feeling it today. That’s ok, it means progress will be better appreciated, albeit slower. I do have less back pain now! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yes!! My mom had that on VHS, it’s a blue box with a lady wearing a high waisted leotard?
Plants plus fish sums up OMS (Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis by George Jelenik), but it includes vitamin D, meditation, exercise, moderate alcohol of you want, and flax oil supplementation....and all the legit research behind his recommendations.
He has MS, he watched his mom suffer with it, and he’s the head of an Aussie medical research publication. He looks good! 😂😂😂 Sorry, MS pun there, no one shoot me for that, it was sarcasm.
I’ve posted a few videos from their YouTube channel and links to their website in the past, if you are interested.
Your attempt at sarcasm was funny. Very funny. I actually use to head-up a support group with that same title. "O but you look so good".
I am sorry you have not been well.
Having relapses is the absolute pits. I hate it. Sometimes I even feel guilty when I have one. Don't bother to ask me why. I don't understand it either.
Yes you're right she has on pink and blue. Very 80's.
I can’t decide what I would reverse first, the vision loss or the whatever my legs not working right is called.
I think plenty here are interested and there’s a variety of things taken among this crew. I think that there’s enough research on vitamin D and having a decent balance of fats that all people should be taking care of those things, but the vitamin D blood levels may need to be higher for people with MS. Mine is 73, I’m beyond stoked because my goal was 60. OMS is a goal of 20ml flax oil per day for people with MS. CBD oil is used by some here orally, and it also has a good fat profile.
Other vitamins people here use are biotin and magnesium. I’m not sure about a specific protocol for everyone with MS since their diets, medications, and goals may require adjustments. The source of vitamins is very important also.
It’s a great idea, but I don’t know of any. The brain supplements that I’ve seen (possibly good for cogfog?) are mostly nootropics and maybe b vitamins.
Yes, I have changed my diet since my diagnosis and I am feeling so much better. First, I eliminated all wheat and gluten. I have a gluten sensitivity. Now, back in 2006, there were not too many options but now there is. So, adhering to this gf diet was hard. I also am lactose intolerant since birth. I never really ingested too much milk but since there are lactose free products readily available, I can go lactose free without too much problem. To answer your question, yes, I do feel much better.
LooCee looks gorgeous and ready for her photo shoot!😎
Honey, she is a mess. Now, that she has new earrings.. . She wants all eyes on her.
Ok, so I have seen and read about alot of MS'ers doing this. Going gf...I mean
I have never tried it.
However, not until you mentioned it did I realize I have been lactose free for years. Something happened with my digestion about 15 years ago. Don't ask me what? I don't know? But suddenly I could not deal with a lot of dairy. I didn't eat a lot of it to begin with so eliminating it wasn't that big of a deal. So, I'm also lactose free. Again, with these eliminations from my diet I've notice that it's easier to fight the MS. And I don't have as many relapses.
I have heard that there is a test available over the counter that you can take and it will tell you what you should avoid. Or an allergist can help with that. But whatever you do, discuss with your doctor first.
Can you ask Locke where she found her earrings, please? They are very fetching on her! 😎
I just noticed that spell check changed Loocee to Locke! I apologize! And now that l know where she bought her earrings, I can certainly look for them myself. 😉
As for the allergy test, there is one available that l know of called IdentAllergy. I am sure that there are many others, and I cannot vouch for this particular one as I haven’t tried it ~ yet.

Vitamin D3 is great for remylanation, many of us had blood tests in the very beginning of our Roller Coaster Ride for diagnoses, well, usually if our Vit. D level was low, it was causing our pains as our mylan sheath was being destroyed in our Central Nervous System. So, Suppliment w/vit.D3 to get that back, I also take. HTP-5 A neuro transmitter! Helps @ night h.s. for sleep help...too oh & Lion's mane mushroom!🍄😻😸😃😀😍Blessings---JR
Atlproctor, the best foods high in D are like avacados, fresh fish like sardines (in a glass jar), fresh salmon, Walnuts, & almonds...Reason why a drink nut type milks, oh hemp milk is real good too.😍 Much Love, Prayers🙏& Blessings---Jazmine Rose
I'm so sorry it's taken me a while to respond. Place forgive me. Up in in the hospital. Everyone keeps talking about these sardines in a glass jar. I've never seen this. Can someone take a picture?
Great discussion! I am mostly grain,dairy, processed food free. Lots fruit/veg, lean protein, WATER.
I try to limit salt and note next day MS effects if I overdo salt.
Used to have rare glass wine but it affects my walking too much.
Supplements: D3, magnesium, fish oil, probiotics
Biotin (hi dose compounded) and ALA have been recommended for MS
Be active! Whatever that means for u. I used to run marathons and lift heavy weights. Now try to walk mile a day, and do other free group and individual senior exercise classes (try to keep up with the 80 yr olds. Fortunately they’re not judgmental and there’s much laughing which is also good medicine.
I meditate daily. Recently turned on to Emmett Millers YouTube hypnosis for stress relief 👍
Because MS can lead to decreased muscle innervation, weight lifting is important to preserve any muscle mass and control you still have. Helps balance, and mobility and decreases. falls. Work up to as heavy as u can and take rest breaks @kdali
I’m aiming for walking 2 miles when it’s not raining. It’s been two days since my first day back with weights and I don’t feel as abused so I will do another round of weights today. I have endurance, but breaks are required. I’m trying to train smart also; get the most bang for my buck by lifting slowly and doing exercise while fasted.
I’ve appreciated all your posts about exercise! I love that you go to a senior center 😍 I’m hoping to rehab myself or at least prevent further decline 😵
Hey. NW. No one thought anything about soap box. You gave very good information. I noticed you are another person who said magnesium is important. I take magnesium 3x a day.
I have been eating a lot more vegies and fruits trying to make sure I get all my vitamins since I can not take most multi vitamins. I do exercise too but I have weakness in my arms and legs so I do a light weight program that the trainer helped me with and at home I have a stress ball that I roll around with my foot to help with spasticity.
Yes. Decades after diagnosis & DMT's & side effect drugs, did a major diet change out of necessity. Could only juice fruits & veggies for years to keep from going comatose daily. Now fully committed to eating healthy regular non-processed food, primarily paleo,...life changed slowly, for the better. Big time. Still years of m.s. "battle wounds", but no more relapses, no drugs, and improving! YES, diet matters! Doc's are talking more and more about how diet affects health more than drugs. Doubt I could have done it except out of necessity. DO IT!
I love oatmeal as well. I have not tried cottage cheese. Actually, the only time I ever eat it is what I make lasagna. But maybe I should try it by itself?
