For years I’ve taken pure granulated maple sugar to relieve ms symptoms almost instantly.. According to my ms physiotherapist, this sugar has been now scientifically proven to ease symptoms of ms. The combination of dopamine and another hormone found in maple sugar regulate my ms symptoms. Years ago I began using maple sugar in its block form. We needed to chop out pieces of it for me to eat lol! My first attempt at using Marple sugar, (then in its block form), on my experience with the ms hug 😖 was nearly instantly removed at hat time. Soon we found the maple sugar in its granulated form. When I feel overwhelmed my ms symptoms of any kind, I take spoonfuls of the male sugar. It has always worked for me although it may not work for everyone. I’m one of the mor blessed I suppose 😉. We need to joke, don’t we?

Thank you for sharing! I’m going to look up granulated maple sugar and try it out. Manuka honey also seems to help aid in inflammation so I am curious about that too. Might have to give both a try.

Has anyone used manuka honey after stem cell transplant for MS?

There isn't specific research on using manuka honey after stem cell transplants for MS. However, some MyMSTeam members have shared their experiences using manuka honey for various MS-related symptoms.

One member mentioned drinking ginger tea with manuka honey to help with bladder problems, while another found it helpful when mixed into their morning routine. Some members use it for its antibacterial properties to soothe sore throats or apply manuka honey cream topically.

It's important to note that after HSCT, your immune system is suppressed during recovery, which can increase infection risk. Before adding anything new to your routine post-transplant, including manuka honey, talk with your healthcare team. They can advise whether it's safe given your specific recovery timeline and any potential interactions with your treatment plan.

While manuka honey has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, it should never replace medical supervision for managing MS or recovery from HSCT.
