My mother was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis by her Neurologist. She had an MRI that showed what you would expect from MS, had lab studies appropriate for MS (including a lumbar punture/CSF), and had all the hallmark symptoms. She went from being annoyingly active (like she built a ceiling high stone wall the whole length of the house with three kids under ten), to sleeping in until 10AM, dragging herself to the store to restock the fridge with Totinos pizzas, and back to bed. Basically in the course of a year or so she had aged about 60 years. She was intolerant of heat, exhausted easily, and got weak very easily.

Its a daily struggle but she made me a believer

Since I'm a gardener and work in an area known to have infected deer ticks (I have had at least ten infected deer tick bites), I take extreme care when going out to work in the gardens. I use a 25% Neem oil to 75% olive oil mix on my skin prior to dressing, being sure that my skin is coated with the oil.

That’s good advice, thank you. I am familiar with that – I went through natural cancer treatment program when I had melanoma skin cancer and the regimen was a similar diet as well as other lifestyle changes. With all of my fatigue and emotional exhaustion as well as physical, I let go of a lot of those good lifestyle habits. Too tired to care and it was just so hard to have discipline when I could barely think and function! However… I have been realizing that I need to go back onto the anti-cancer life and diet. I had a new spot appear that could be another type of melanoma ( Seeing doctor tomorrow). Maybe it will reset other areas of life and energy…

If possible try to keep a positive mindset, I find meditation helps me purge negativity but please do whatever works best for you
I humbly suggest you avoid eating anything that comes from a box at the supermarket unless its real unprocessed food packaging such as oats or frozen berries for example
Studies show cancer loves sugar, but I'm not a doctor just sharing what I've heard and read

I am absolutely certain there are more issues with other family members, but these are the ones we know for sure.
I can mostly keep my symptoms under control with diet and a few supplements, especially Vitamin D3. My youngest daughter lives with me (she's 38, I'm 61) and we mostly follow the auto-immune protocol diet. She also takes a generic zoloft to help with the autism, and a generic Plaquenil for the lupus. We still struggle to keep her healthy and feeling good, and she absolutely has to avoid prolonged exposure to the sun (prolonged being more than a few minutes). I also have to be really careful about anything that is going to stress her -- moving from Oregon to Kentucky last spring was a tremendous stress and she's just now beginning to recover from that, almost seven months after the move. Vitamin D also helps her a lot. I had her taking diatomaceous earth for a while and I think it was helping her, too. I need to get her back on that. Caring for her is complicated by the fact that she doesn't communicate very well (she does talk a little bit, but not well).

I have vitiligo, which caused me a lot of embarrassment and emotional issues as a child, but doctors always acted like it was just a cosmetic issue and nothing to do about it. As an adult, I have had Lyme disease and been diagnosed with fibromyalgia - with chronic fatigue symptoms. It’s extremely debilitating and I have not been able to work, except very part time, for about eight years. I am wondering if vitiligo is a marker or early warning of autoimmune illness? I’m Interested to know any knowledge you have about this… i’m 58 so it was 30 and 40 years ago that I was looking into causes. At that time they said it could be caused by shock or a trauma, it could be a vitamin B deficiency (or evidence that your body does not properly make use of vitamin B), or hereditary. I am very fair skinned so if I simply remain out of the sun, the vitiligo is subtle. But when I was a child playing outdoors I would tan nicely where I had pigment but had very large “albino” splotches all over my feet, up my legs legs and on my stomach that are (mostly) symmetrical on my body. I also developed melanoma skin cancer 10 years ago, likely from so many terrible childhood sunburns - without pigment more susceptible to the radiation perhaps.

Anti inflammatory lifestyle is the best solution.. we've been experimented on our whole life and their is a consequence . you mean nothing to the medical establishment
