I completely agree with the idea of running two minutes walking two - or some people find it easier with 1 min run, 1 mi walk. Recovery is key. I also have found that I must get up early to run in the summer (5 am) to help keep me from getting overheated. I get spasticity after workouts, but not con...

Oh yes, and my favorite quote (reminds me that trying is NEVER a bad thing): “It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by...

After I have seen 9 neurologists, I got to the same conclusion. there are no right answers about so many things. Initially I have taken the same decision to go without treatment, but unfortunately that didn't work for me. It seems mine is quite active and I am trying the treatment side and suppleme...

What I also noted is that while I was running, on no treatment, I had an attack at 7 months while after I stopped, it was more often. Alexandra - That gives me hope, I talked with someone else who runs with MS and they stated that every attack means starting from square one, but it is worth it in t...

Running with MS
I received my MS diagnosis in Nov 2009- almost exactly two months to the date of running my second marathon. I was looking into running with MS and came across pretty much nothing. Is there anyone out there that still runs? Currently I am only running 10 miles a week after my big attack in Oct, but ...

The only reason that I am looking for a so...

vitamin D3
I see a lot of people have different opinions on how much D3 we should supplement daily. I live in Northeast Ohio which I believe is one of the dreariest places on earth.
What would a recommended amount be? Also, I am struggling to find a soy free d3 that is also a good price. Any information?

Have you looked into enteric coated peppermint oil capsules? I was at a presentation by Dr. Michael Murray, a naturapath, and he mentioned that these were good for IBS I have not looked into this, I will probably modify my diet first and see if it I see a difference. But thank you for the informati...

I was planning on starting the Best Bet Diet in January. Trying to research before making any major changes. My questions is what is the best way to start; should I dive in eliminating all three major categories (legumes, dairy, gluten) as well as limiting my sugar and sat fat intake or should I slo...

First off JimmyLegs and Wonderfulworld thank you! I am glad to get a few more tips. I will go ask my doctor about a few more tests. I was already low in my B12, but Zinc and D3 levels were not looked at. I cringe at having more blood drawn, but it is worth it. Oh no, I'm just a worrier and I felt mu...

Thank you both for those comments. It is good to hear positive feelings on all of this, I think in my heart that is what I was leaning towards, but with so many unknowns it all seems very scary. Thank you for the exercise and diet tips, I am already researching some of these things and I am sure I w...
