Guest guest Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I've gotten several emails offlist asking what type of ms I have, and how long I've had it, and how much physical disability I have......... I had my first ms symptom when I was 15. That was 22 years ago. I was diagnosed in my 20's RRMS, and then 2 years ago it changed to SPMS. Until a year ago I treated it with diet changes and specific supplements. Roughly a year ago, I added LDN to my treatment, and stopped most of the supplements. I've never taken CRABs or any other drug given for ms or it's symptoms. As long as I stay away from gluten, msg and other food additives, I have no symptoms at all. I have 100% of my physical and mental function, and I'm not bothered by fatigue unless I really over do it. But, I have enough energy to homeschool my 6 kids, run a busines, and play neighborhood mom to 5 or 6 additional kids. Before I changed my diet I had dizziness, loss of balance, optic neuritis, stuttering, numbness and weakness in my left foot, leg, arm, and both hands, and pain so bad I had trouble holding a fork or a pencil some days. I also had memory loss, or 'brain fog' and constant ringing in the ears. When I started cutting things from my diet, like meat, gluten and msg those symptoms began to disappear. When I started eating mostly raw foods the symptoms faded even more. Then I added LDN, and only occasional dizziness and occasional stuttering were left.When I went to totally raw, 3 1/2 weeks ago, the last of the dizziness and stuttering went away. I hope that answers everyone's questions. If not, feel free to ask for clarification. Yvette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
