      If you do end up being diagnosed with MS, know that your best years are still ahead of you. Finding out you have something like this can be very frightening and often feels hopeless, but take it from me, this is just the beginning. You can get better, and you can be happier and healthier than you've ever been. I believe in you, Andrew.

      Magnesium up to 1000 mg a day. Helps with many things, but common things are: migraines, back and limb pain, irregular pulse, not sleeping well, ringing in ears, constipation and feeling cold. Avoid more than 200 mg of magnesium citrate or hydroxide a day.
      Magnesium orotate for cardiovascular health.
      Magnesium glycinate helps people sleep better.
      Magnesium malate may be able to improve energy and relieve pain.

      Ahsct treatment can potentially stop and even allow you to reverse your symptoms. It has better results with relapsing ms than primary progressive ms but still has a high success rate for putting all types in remission.

    Regarding asking your doctor for advice...not sure which Dr you mean. The Neurologists are generally pretty dismissive about diet or supplements and my GP is ignorant about MS. I asked in my annual blood tests to include the D3. She seemed a bit confused about that and insurance may object...I said they wouldn't if she made sure it was noted that I have MS (I've had to call and have it removed in prior billings). When my results came back she warned me it was a bit high at 62. I had to send her a video that for MS it is recommended to be between 50 and 100. She was unaware. She also advised me to get vaccinations in timeframes that were too close to my Ocrevus infusions and a lot of other poor guidance if someone wasn't as versed in MS protocols as I am. I just know not to take anything regarding MS or that will impact my MS to my GP. I asked my neurologist to draft up a "crib sheet" for us to give to our GPs about specific care concerns we have as the GP can't be up to speed on every medical condition out there. Not sure how many patients she has on her list but I could be her only one with MS and specifically with SPMS, that is a similar age, etc. and all the things that make "me"...Only I am a "me" expert so I know I have to educate myself and advocate for myself.
    Thanks for a video that helps me do that.

    Very good discussion. People need to take charge of their own health. Find out what works for you and try anything that’s reasonable. I’ve had long Covid for a couple of years. I went from being unable to walk to going to the gym and leading a full, enjoyable life. I had neurological issues with my legs and balance problems. I recently had several acupuncture treatments with cupping , which helped a lot. Just my two cents! Also, I’ve taken many of the same supplements, including NAC.

    I hit a wall whenever I research dietary suggestions for MS. They all say to eat salmon or other fatty fish. I’m allergic to all of them. The regimens all seem to suggest reduced protein consumption and a plant-based diet. My body demands a certain level of animal protein. Without it, I become anemic. My entire family is unable to produce red blood cells without consuming animal proteins. Taking B12 or iron supplements doesn’t help, and food combining for complete protein doesn’t do it for us either. (It’s a constant source of frustration for my vegan friends.) Philosophically, my brother and I prefer to be at least vegetarian, but our bodies won’t permit it. However, with that preference, we do eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, but some of the veggies the diets suggest are nightshades, which can be inflammatory. I’m confused by their inclusion. And seaweed is something my body refuses to retain after eating if you know what I mean. It’s like the diets are full of landmines for me instead of solutions. It’s discouraging.

    • @LiterallySpikeCohen

      That has never come up, honestly. The main risk of PML is JC virus positivity, and I've remained negative the whole time. I've considered switching to Ocrevus, and may do so in the future, but so far I've chosen to remain on Tysabri. How has Ocrevus worked for you?

      Ocrevus has worked just as well for me as Tysabri has so far. The infusions are longer, but only having to do them every six months is nice. The worst part is that I'm officially immuno-compromised now. So if you're worried about germs and all that, you may want to stick to Tysabri as long as you can.
      One other thing to be mindful of: You can be cleared for a shorter infusion time but it can cause a huge allergic reaction. That happened to me the first time and it wasn't the most positive experience.

I got MS (benign) after decades as a vegetarian. There are ex MS sufferers on YT who have got their progressive MS completely reversed by the carnivore diet - red meat, saturated fat and eggs (not dairy), precisely the kinds of foods MS sufferers are told not to eat. Clearly, bodies are different, with different dietary needs for optimal health..
