Stem cell therapy with MS

[WinterHold]

I live in Scotland, which along with Canada is an MS hotspot because of the lack of sunshine. It can also be really cold. But I still try to expose as much skin to the few minutes of sun when I can. Apparently there's only so much Vitamin D you can get per day for any part of the body no matter how long it is exposed to the sun so you need to find a way of getting some all over daily exposure if possible, which can be really difficult. I take supplements as well though. But about ten minutes fully exposed in a hot country at noon can get you all the vitamin D you need for that day. I live in a top floor apartment so I open the window to my living room and sunbathe for an hour at weekends when the sun swings around.

I forgot to mention that Flax seed oil has the highest ratio of Omega 3 of any oil (also called linseed oil). I mail order mine and keep it in the freezer until I need to open it then I store it in the fridge. I use it instead of margarine or butter on my bread, or on my potatoes.

I occasionally take vitamin B for the fatigue / brain fog,  (also experimenting with occasionally also taking Vitamin K, calcium and magnesium) and that seems to help. But lots of daily exercise does seem to be the best thing that I have personally found so far. My husband often complains that I have too much energy now when I am dancing (badly) around the kitchen. I'm considering giving up wheat and seeing how that goes. When I first moved back to Scotland and before my diagnosis I was permanently exhausted all the time.

You too keep fighting Atlas. It's good to hear how other people are coping because I don't personally know anyone else with MS.

I heard about the lack of sun in northern parts of Canada too; I'm in Saudi Arabia though, I frankly never heard of M.S until I got diagnosed. The temperature is about 28 C now, in the summer it reaches 40 C on average too -40 is the minimum -_- -. But I understand the exposure like it won't matter which organ is getting the sun rays anyways; see this dr :





If I understand him good; the skin will receive the rays and keeps converting the chemicals until the body extracts the proper chemical. The whole process will happen in the kidneys and liver... etc, so the organ getting the sun is just a portal of entry for the vitamin; if you know what I mean..
I agree on the 10 Minutes bit; that's why I think genetics and food played a huge role in my sickness -probably in yours; too-. I never missed the sun in my life. Actually a day with little sun rays was considered "a blessing".

For the Omega-3, I take pills once a day. But why would you double the intake of the Omega by taking Flax seed oil ? I deeply think that they affect the weight, fish oil is enough as supplement.

I won't give you advice about the fatigue because I couldn't beat it until now. A small walk will raise my symptoms sky-high. I'm hearing a lot about the usefulness of the exercise though; so maybe a combination of good diet and exercise are the key to beat the fatigue?
If you can dance badly, and your husband is referring to your energy; then your lifestyle is working :

I will keep on the fight. Hey; I'm still young enough to hopefully pull it off. Day by day they are getting closer to find a cure for this, as it seems.

Actually just found out, it was exactly a year ago today that I was first diagnosed with MS.

I was diagnosed in 2015. This is my third year.
