Hi,

I was dx with MS in 2008, shortly after my daughter was born. Because she

was so young, it was really important to me to be able to continue nursing

her. So, I really did not want to go on any drugs, and started looking into

alternative ways to treat MS. That is when I learned about the MS Recovery

Diet. It made sense to me as soon as I heard about it, because I had

already noticed that my symptoms grew worse around mealtime… to the point

where I didn’t even want to eat, which was a big deal for me. It’s amazing

how closely linked my symptoms are to what I eat… often experiencing

symptoms within a minute if I’ve eaten something on my no-no list.

While the diet helped control many of my symptoms, others grew worse, and I

eventually had to seek a steroid treatment, and started Copaxone in 10/09.

It was okay, did help, but not what I really wanted for the long-term. In

4/10, I started LDN (low-dose naltrexone). I call it my non-drug

wonder-drug… as it started helping me feel better immediately.

I continually improved and was very excited when my neuro agreed to let me

to discontinue the Copaxone this past October. I have been doing really

well, but not so much the past few weeks. I have been looking into

alternative ways to treat relapses and have success with increasing my

antioxidants in the past. However, I am really interested in seeing what

other people are doing to successfully treat their MS… and incorporate what

I can. I have two small children and need to feel better. I need a boost…

and I REALLY do not want to go back on any medication.

Thanks,

)
