Look into LDN, Im on my 30th day and starting to feel great. I dont take anything else and I can honestly say that Im starting to feel like I did pre MS. Not going to preach but its definately worth looking into..

I've actually been on LDN for the last 5 months. Nothing too remarkable and recent MRI might show slight progression. Its kind of inconclusive. I'll keep taking it as long as I can.

Nahlie you forgot to mention your gluten free, dairy free diet! Perhaps that is adding to your good feelings?

I have been on an MS diet for almost a year now--after quitting all other meds. (well ok I use cannabis too because it has been shown to manage symptoms and slow progression)
But even though I have no radical results to share, I am still working on making the diet as strict as its supposed to be--so that is probably error on my part.
In general fatigue, headaches are down. I haven't had a significant relapse since I started the diet. I don't feel awesome or anything but I definitely feel better than when I was on avonex--and trust me eating a certain way is annoying but much better than sticking yourself in the leg with a GIANT needle.
Also, heavy supplement regimen is important in conjunction with diet. I take over 25 pills a day.
If I were you I would look into Swank or MS diet--also anti-inflammatory diet is grreat. Want to know more? As Epagain on here--she is a goldmine of info
Also nnyl I think is her name and she is also super informed.

I get my year MRI in the next couple of weeks--so we will know if the diet this whole year has done anything.

It was a risk, but I don't believe in the shots and other synthetics.

Humunculus- what does your diet consist of, or restrict. Did you follow one of the ones out there or did you experiment on your own. I did teh Wank diet for 5 yrs when I was first diagnosed. Still had 1-2 relapses a year. Mostly one a year. So many of the new ones restrict more than just saturated fat now. Did anyone have blood tests done for allergies? I did that as well and not that many things came up. Dairy was fine for me. What kinds of anti-inflammatories do any of you take. I've been taking turmeric for the past month or so. How much do you take? The bottle I have says one pill with each meal. Is that enough? I also take B12, D3, flaxseed oil, calcium, magnesium, and sometimes iodine.

That was Swank diet, not some rip off copy cat called the Wank diet.

Auntilynn, I gave up on the gluten free life style, I love my bread too much..lol

I second that Nahlie. :)

I've been gluten free and feel so much more vibrant, I'll never go back. Especially after reading about the Paleo diet and the connection Lectins have with triggering auto immune problems. I only started the gluten free in July when I had my last relapse so other than feeling like a brain fog has lifted and my having loads more energy, it's too early to tell how it will affect my exacerbations but I feel confident it's a step in the direction I need to be.

The first year I was diagnosed with MS I went just with similar to Swank diet and unfortunately I couldn't go without the coffee. But I got worse and then I went on Avonex. And the progression stopped. So I stayed with the interferon therapy.

BUT...I must say that eating a healthy diet for me is extremely important and the reason why my MS friends that I have had for over 12 years are not doing as well as I am, may be because of my diet.

Organic food, no high fat, no red meat or pork, eliminate as much junk food as you can. And exercise or force yourself to get out as much as possible. I have a lot of fatigue but I still force myself to get out. But I have to eat well or I just plain feel lousy. Do not know about the diets other than the Swank diet, but I will look into them now.

Thanks for the info.
