@A MyMSTeam Member definitely discuss with whichever your ms doctor before you start anything new. Definitely wait at least 2 weeks between every new thing and after stopping anything. You need to know what you’re deficient in first so a comprehensive blood panel to start. Folic Acid, B12, iron, D3, magnesium are all things I am tested for regularly. Off and on I am deficient in any and all of those. Taking the right magnesium has been a game changer for me. I still get MS hugs but almost all other spasticity is gone. The right magnesium eliminated what I call level 15(on a scale of 1-10) FML pain. Some of the ones Joanne mentioned gave me bad reactions. Flaxseed has always been part of my diet. It’s mostly fiber. Vitamin C and K2 are also good In my case I read and watch videos and I always discuss anything I discover with the doctor before I try it. If I don’t have a negative reaction I take it for at least 6 weeks before I decide if it helped or not. I have had to many negative reactions from just grabbing a supplement at the recommendation of someone else. Supplements definitely help.
I have taken a lot of Supplements for over 34 Years now and I am doing great for Someone who has MS. I take C, b_12, Flaxseed, Coq10, Lions Mane Mushroom, Zinc, Turmeric Cu. Potassium, Magneseum.
