It’s amazing how a day can turn. There comes a point in the evening with multiple sclerosis my body just has enough. My daughter has learned this point well over the years. It’s when she asks me a question or tells me she needs something at 8-9 at night but my mind and body is fond and shut down. Instead of responding like a normal human being I loose my marbles on her. That happened a little early last night…
Let me start by reiterating the reasons WHY I decided to become vegan. I was told by my sister and a friend about a movie Forks Over Knives. The movie is about how most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that can afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting animal based and processed foods. There is also a book by Roy Swank called The Multiple Sclerosis Diet Book. In his book Dr. Swank also believed in…
Look at my last few weeks…I was gearing up for the holidays, got this puppy, go away for Christmas, my beloved dog Boomer died, I spiral into a complete depression, cried everyday for a week plus but my multiple sclerosis symptoms are relatively the same. Are they better? No, but they aren’t worse. Multiple Sclerosis isn’t directly linked to stress, but it never failed for me when I’d have high periods of stress, about one month later, BANG MS ISSUES….
It’s almost an eerie quiet in my house for 7:15 in the morning. Both dogs went back to sleep next to me on the couch. I just finished doing P90 sculpt B. I started doing the P90 series from http://Www.beachbody.com by Tony Horton but stopped when I started having issues with my shoulder. Doctor said I have tendinitis and arthritis. Lovely!!! Thank heaven for the cortisone shot that has done wonders. Anyway…I’ve completed P90X many times. It is actually my favorite of…
let’s be real here, if things were going well, I’d still be working. I’d go to work everyday, be around different people, be challenged, strive to be the best and probably be like 76% of the world, stressed out. However, I’m not well, I’m not stressed out like the 76% but my life isn’t easy. I love the look I still get from some people when I tell them I don’t work anymore. You can see their mind questioning you…
http://sumo.ly/moZo I submitted a link to the biotin research/clinical study that showed that it may be helpful in people with progressive forms of multiple sclerosis. I am writing from my own perspective from taking the medicine. I get a 100mg pill I take 3 times a day from Ace pharmacy https://highdosebiotin.net . I just completed my 3rd month. I had a neurologist check up in December and in my timed walking, I was 7 seconds faster than I ever walked in her…
At my neurologist appointment she wanted me to start taking Alpha Lipoic acid 1200mg a day. She explained that like the biotin study I talked about https://multipleexperiences.org/2016/10/24/high-dose-biotin-with-progressive-ms-a-patients-review/ It was shown to help patients with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. The vitamin is inexpensive. I got a bottle of 600mg on Amazon for $14.99. I take 2 a day. I just started yesterday. Like anything I will keep you updated to anything I’ve noticed both good and bad with my own MS symptoms. I…
Multiple Sclerosis has a lot of false information out there. Today I felt like talking about the Myths vs the facts of MS. I got this from Youdontknowjackaboutms.com. My thoughts are written in red. MYTH: MOST PEOPLE WITH MS ARE DIAGNOSED AT AN ADVANCED AGE. FACT: Most people are diagnosed with MS between the ages of 20 and 50. Though less common, MS can also appear in young children and teens, as well as much older adults. I was diagnosed…
MS fatigue one of the most difficult symptoms to explain and deal with. 80% of all MS patients deal with this at some point or another. Fatigue is way past a feeling of tired is to the point of absolute exhaustion. It’s the feeling that each limb is 100lbs heavier than it is. Just walking the few steps to a bathroom is daunting and overwhelming. It never fails you’ll be talking to a friend and you’ll say I’m tired (meaning…
Starting Saturday I will be following a plant based diet. Why Saturday? One of my birthday gifts from my sister and brother-in-law was a gift certificate to Terra Kitchen. They are a home delivery food company that sends the ingredients and you put the meal together. The difference is they cut the ingredients for you which for me is tremendous because I can’t do that anymore. My first delivery is Saturday. I also ordered from Veestro the 21 day kick…
