    Yeah it’s not easy to except but be strong there’s a site call MShealthline were people support and help on another I suggest checking it out if you need help or somewhere to vent. The people are very nice and helpful they’ve supported me and I even found my gf there. I wish you all the beast. Remember Never quiet Never back down Be the wolf 🐺.

    Hi there dude. Sorry to see your situation, it's quite similar to my own, so I can relate to the problems. I started using Apple Cider Vinegar & made a spray of boiled whole garlics & onions. Eating beetroot & brocoli + a load of other healthy natural foods & my situation has improved a heck of a lot. Exercising as much as possible to get the nutrients & minerals circulating around the body. Drink plenty of oxygenated water. All the best out there.

    I’m very glad I could help you to show your son that giving up and giving in is not the way. This disease will not stop use we can fight on and live a somewhat normal-ish life. I’m very happy he got you that button shows he cares for you I do hope you’re doing well. Remember never give up never give in always fight on. Best wishes stay strong.

    I’m really sorry to hear about you and your situation I also have PPMS was just recently diagnosed but I am finding success with major diet adjustments and hydration but again it’s only been three months I wish you well more importantly I think we can help ourselves by pushing ourselves supporting each other and looking into dietary changes I really am finding a lot of success but again I’m a newbie

    Thank you for Commenting on the video. I do know a few people have had luck with dietary changes I attempted that and it had no effect on my situation. I’m on several medication now and improve my walking dramatically. There is dalfamperdin personals as Ampyra for the walking drug for MS patients. I’m also on baclofen I think 3 4 X a day then there’s Amantadine for burning in my spine and scalp. I also get a infusion twice a year to sloe the progretion of the PPMS. Don’t push yourself too much you may send yourself into a flareup which will cause your symptoms to worsen. I hate saying it but there is no really getting better with this disease. There are things that will help you to slow it and keep a somewhat normal life for a while. Like canes , Walkers, wheelchairs and medication. Yes support is a big thing we all need to do we should always support one another. I guess some dietary changes can help they just haven’t helped me. I wish you good luck with your diagnosis. I hope yours does not progress like mine🤞. Remember NEVER QUITE! NEVER GIVE UP!! BE THE WOLF 🐺.

Finding shoes that fit is difficult I’ve found that skater shoes work best for me because they’re wide yet still comfortable.. and using a cane around the house is a pain but it’s saved me from a lot of pain from falls I could’ve had in the home. Never quit never back down be the wolf.

    @@ppmswiththewolfmant2818 Thanks so much Wolf Man. MS is not the worst thing in the world but it is no fun either. Thanks for putting yourself out there for the rest of us. I thought I might try Crocs, since they have some that are a bit more attractive out now. Have you tried them? I haven't a clue where to get skater's shoes and I am living overseas now so I dunno if this is an option for me. Who knew this would be a problem? I like the idea of being a she wolf, hhhh. I wish you good health and happiness always, and stay strong.

    @@cooksmary I always appreciate new members to the channel welcome to the Wolfpack Mary. I do hope my videos can help you in some way or at least entertain you with some of the silly videos I’ve been putting out. I have not tried crocs I am not a big fan of them if you can’t find skater shoes where you are there are plenty online if you ever thought about getting them that way. I know it’s strange to suggest but wish.com has a lot of shoes although cheaper versions and knock off’s. The shoes are still quite comfortable you just have to check the reviews and descriptions. I normally get DC shoes they seem to be some of the wider more comfortable versions of skater brand shoes. And which is a good place to find shoes very similar for a much cheaper price. Or you can find the actual brand of shoe there for a much lower price. Hope that helps you a little bit and remember never quit never back down by the wolf.

    Iron overload can lead to a number of health conditions. We should tread with caution when it comes to supplements. Cod liver oil can send the ferritin levels (iron storage) sky high and this can lead to bacterial infections. Fat-soluble vitamins can lurk in the body for a long time just wreaking havoc.

    Living with ms is tough but ms yoga really helps with balance and walking. I didnt think it would but it helps. You tube ms yoga. You just sit in your chair and do the exercise. Please get a cane if you dont have one for balance. I fear you may fall.

I do have a cane already and it helps but not much anymore I have fallen a few times already btw. An I’m getting a wheelchair it will be here soon so I won’t have to worry about walking in public and falling over. Thanks for the tip and concern much appreciated. Hope all goes well for you best of luck.

I also take amantadin for fatigue Close today baclofen 3 4x a day for clones or the bouncing and tremors from the spasticity In my legs and back.

    Yes you can live a long life with MS and the neurotic pain never stops it only continues to worsen. But there are ways you can manage with it. I mean there’s not a lot of ways that really stop it it’s always kind of there. Either you find something that kind of works for you. Or over the years you can become numb to it kind of like me. Still hurts like a mother flipping son of a itch sometimes but I find ways to deal it’s all I can do. I tell my doctors but I don’t want to take more medication than I already am it’s messing with my weight my sleep my appetite and I just don’t want any more stress from taking more pills. I hope your neurotic pain doesn’t end up as bad as mine and or if it is already I’m sorry you have to deal with that it sucks.
