I started taking pure Biotin at high doses which may help repair myelin. I'm taking 100 milligrams 3 times a day. Way above the RDA, which is something like 10,000 micrograms. I'm on it for about a month and a half and at this point, I'm peeing less (a huge quality-of-life benefit) and I've been transferring better. There was a study done in Fance on Biotin. If you want more info, there's a Facebook page - Biotin for Progressive MS that has all the details. When I joined a few months ago, there were under 100 members, now we're over 1,800. It's a great community with everyone sharing their experiences.

I live in Florida and my vitamin D always test in the "Oh My Gosh- do you go outside ever or eat range" I take OTC 5000ius a day and once a week 1.5mg via script weekly, I've been told that MS patients can't take enough of that of B- and now I've added Caritine as it's supposed to help sheathing- who knos but my nails and hair have never looked better!

I take olive and cocoanut oil. I've done some reading on this stuff and figured, why not. Has many benefits. Also vitamins D3 s very important. I'm willing to bet that a lot of people with MS don't get enough sun resulting in low vitamin D. Simply because people with MS have a hard time dealing with the heat and the sun. Sort of a catch 22 issue.

@katrinaShartcake - no, the Biotin does not keep me up, not that I sleep well all the time, anyway.
As per instructions, I take 100mg 3 times a day. I purchased a smidgen spoon from Amazon (which I hear is app 100mg). For complete instructions, check out Biotin for Progressive on Facebook.

@A MyMSTeam Member does the biotin give you insomnia? The b vitamins give me insomnia! I have trouble sleeping but when I take my b's it's way worse.
