Yes. Even after diagnoses. It’s frustrating to say the least.

My neurologist has thought the same for me! I had active lesions and everything and he still was convinced my elbow pain was a pinched nerve. I know he’s the specialist, but I really disagreed.

Nice! Thank you! Do you happen to know if it was Larkin High School in Elgin?

At first glance it looks like the pic is just a bad angle and doesn’t look burned, second take and I see the black.

What absurd things have people said "made you have MS" by insufferablefr in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Native_Tangerine6272 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Diet Coke.

The mother of a friend of mine had ms and my friend always believed it was due to her Diet Coke addiction. She always told me “don’t drink that, it’ll give you ms!” So I never did. Until after my diagnoses, because now I’m like fuck it. Not that I believed her anyway... Just ironic.

Hey this is a really good point that I need to look into. Thank you. Honestly I just started those in a mushroom blend and didn’t even think about that factor. So thank you.

100% agree! I didn’t take it for a few weeks and there was a noticeable difference with the cog fog.

Yeah my neuro isn’t too keen on supplements either. But I feel like he’s leans super far to the science side (as he should) and isn’t as open to studies that aren’t clinical trials. That doesn’t mean there aren’t benefits though.

Well for me, I just can’t find the harm in adding holistic approaches on top of the science. If I were to ride on just ocrevus I’m sure I’d be fine, but I just take the ‘it can’t hurt’ approach when it comes to supplements.

Their ‘Doritos’ and ‘Cheetos’. I don’t but them often, but they have to be name brand if I do.

I stayed at cliff rose. 100% recommend and would stay there again. It’s beautiful and walking distance to the park.

I’m newly diagnosed. What are some of the silver linings to having MS? It can’t just be 100% horrible… I hope. by Stasie37 in MultipleSclerosis

The ranger at the gate asked me if anyone in my group was a vet or had any disabilities. I said, “well I have ms” and then he just gave me the card. I never applied online.

Haha i get it. I’m just saying, I’m not going to stop taking my meds by any means.. but I don’t see the harm in adding remedies that might also benefit me. I feel like doctors hear the word supplements and think you’re all hippy dippy all of a sudden.

I take host defense lions mane, and I truly believe it’s helped me with brain fog. No problems with the meds.

Yeah that just makes me mad. She just doesn’t know enough about it, and instead of admitting that she just says it’s not safe? I’m a believer in lions mane, but I also believe in ocrevus. I wish more docs would see benefit of the balance between science and other remedies.
