Hoping for the best with MS

Stick with floor exercises, including pilates. It not only is safe for you, but will help you compensate for the balance issues.
This is a great program for you, by the way, because the natural foods and focus on good fats, organic items, and fruits and vegetables are the very best things for you!

Just starting this diet myself. I wanted to tell you Candlesnow that if you aren’t already taking evening primrose oil you should try it. I originally heard about evening primrose oil from a friend who’s daughter was diagnosed 20 years ago with MS. She has never had to go on drugs. An holistic doctor put her on the oil If you met her you would not know she has MS. I was diagnosed with PMR. Three years ago. I started taking evening primrose oil 3 months ago and have been able to lessen my meds quite a bit. I hope this helps.

Hello Young ladies of all ages, I kinda feel out of place here, but I can’t seem to find any fellas on this new venture of mine. so let me start by introducing myself. my name is Elias (erchez410) your Hoping for the best with MS peaked my interest. I am a 63 year old male, struggling with 340 pounds steady for the pass 10 years won’t go up and bounces in area of 320 and 340. I have high blood pressure as well, I have been under care for MS too. I get infusions once a month.
balance is terrible, I was shocked to read about whole wheat, OJ and Margarine. if all this is true then I now know why I can’t go below 320, and I starve myself to get there. I have basically given up, until a new Grandchild has arrived and I am totally in love with her. I want to be able to hold her without fear of falling, and I want to be around longer to see her grow. so ladies here I am with new purpose and drive.

Hi, I too have MS, 34 years old with two kids, I had a relapse in march and have put on e few pounds too, and like you, fatigue, poor balance and leg weakness arent helping the situation.. I look forward to hearing how you will be doing. Tomorrow marks one week, so I hope to see a few pounds gone..Tanya

Hi, Dlfishadopt. Primrose is not known to contain opioids, but eveningn primrose oil (EPO) as a source of gamma linolenic acid (GLA) is often used as an alternative to opioids to reduce inflammation. Since inflammation is the cornerstone of MS pathology, EPO and GLA are popular among sufferers. If that didn’t answer your question, please do repost.

Evening primrose oil as EPO or GLA is sold in capsules in health food stores. Borage seed oil is a good source of the same GLA. Try to get a product that includes extra vitamin E to prevent rancidity.
