  • Thanks for this video!

    I was diagnosed with MS on New Years Eve 2008. I still work full time tho I had to take a medical leave from my Navy Reserve committment. I'm always looking for positive feedback on this disease.

    Gook luck Dan!

  • Very, very well stated. I have a progressive form of MS. It is so difficult to explain. It is hard to let go of so many things. I keep pushing it. I will not let it own me. I admire your courage. Thanks for posting this.

  • Omega 3s, low saturated-fat diet (<10g/day), vitamin D (5000IU/day), and a multivitamin. Takes time to regenerate the brain with the right fat (15 weeks to 2 years), but it will help build myelin and reduce inflammation in the long run.

  • Just saw my MRI for the first time. Swiss cheese. Bummer. Spine. Big spot. I am not feeling very well. I am highly skeptical of ms drugs. Too much money in them and not enough results. If something is not statistically significant, try and try again. Then rush to get it approved and make a bunch of money on it. I spent the day reading marketing materials on ms drugs. I don't want to take any of them, but I feel like I have to. Sucks. Best to all.

  • It's the little things. 'Nuff said.  *sob*

  • I can really associate with his story!! The slow progressive changes that infiltrate every aspect of your life! Learning "new tricks" to handle every day challenges you once never gave a second thought too! I commend him for staying positive & for giving us all the incentive to stay strong!

  • I was diagnosed with MS in 2007, and have had it for 5 years before diagnosed. I am still working full time, and will continue to do this as long as god is willing. I am a firm believer in healing. I have my days where I don't want to get out of bed because of the pain, or being tired. But I know God is behind me giving me the strength to get up and get on with my day. To all of those that have MS, god walks by our side to us the strength to go on with our lives.

  • I have MS too.

  • Inspiring dude. Best of luck to dan!

  • Consider that LDN which stops MS progression and attacks at pennies a day. Further, there are great strides made in mind-body medicine.

  • Maybe your moms too far along for injections. My moms had it for almost 20 years and she just have pills, but I got diagnosed with it 4 years ago and I take interferon shots

  • i have had it for 4 years now i think and im not taking anything - i got some steroid pills today for it however.
