Optic Neuritis in Multiple Sclerosis: My Hospital Update This video is an update on my hospital appointment for the reoccurring optic neuritis that I experience each year. Last year I put a video out on how I lost vision in one eye with an optic neuritis attack. I saw an eye specialist at the opticians who referred me to the eye hospital to see a doctor there. They advised that they were going ...

    My brother has recently been diagnosed with PPMS. He came to live with us after his wife decided she'd had enough. Like Ed he has a hernia (going for surgery next month at last) and struggles to urinate. I don't think any of his doctors seem to see any connection there. Like Ed he has white matter disease in his frontal lobes. He's been medically boarded and is struggling to walk. And like Ed I suspect this started in his teens. He's now 60. Unlike Ed he seems pretty unconcerned about it all, he says he feels no stress. No approved drug in this country, but he's taking LDN and I've got him on a healthy diet and these seem to be helping. No active lesions in his most recent MRI. Thank you for this helpful video.

      apparently the mechanism is that the l-lysine resembles the l-arginine the epstein barr virus uses for nutrition (gets it from the myelin). So this freely available l-lysine is used but provides no nutrition. EBVirus dies off. Neurons no longer under attack... time to begin repairing the myelin❤

    I’ve had PPMS for 30 years I figure, only diagnosed 7 years ago, last 3-4 it has really started to limit me. Only just started Ocrevus 2 weeks ago. I should have have been on it years ago, guess I could blame Covid but also my fault for not pushing for it and going along with Dr. Saying you’re not bad enough yet. So now I’m bad enough but damage is done and there is now going back. All I’m saying here is don’t sit back and take the let’s see attitude, it’s your body so push in a friendly way or see another Dr. That’s my truth. Keep your head up. 🙏

    Is their any connection between L-lysine and Hashimoto thyroiditis and/encephalitis . I’m living my 51st year of hypothyroid, Hashimoto thyroiditis and possible encephalitis. And one day I read about my brain symptoms and the benefits of amino acids. Lysine was listed but I had a bottle in my arsenal of supplements and looked up their benefits. Inflammation, check; Anxiety, check. I think I stopped their and said I’ve taken them before let’s see… Mind you at this time I was having multiple absences seizures and probably just feeling overwhelmed and wreck less and tried it. And two weeks without a seizure and suddenly enjoying the productive side of me I haven’t seen since I was ten years old. I know the lysine didn’t transform my life but it did greatly improve it. The Superfood and plant-based protein smoothie, immune suppressant, acupuncture, regular castor oil pack for detoxing my liver and thyroid with exercise together ACTUALLY transformed my 51 year journey to that one moment in time I’ve held close because I didn’t want to stop until I could be that strength in me again.

    Hi Laura, my name is Kerrick. I live in Pennsylvania. Have MS and similar story, had a very active lifestyle and rode motorcycles, a Black Beauty. 1981 Yamaha 650 Midnight Maxim. Noticed I was loosing my balance when riding, thought it may have something to do with blood pressure, fatigue, whatever. Quickly afterwards went numb from waist down. Went to family doctor about symptoms, he immediately sent me to hospital for testing. All of them including spinal tap, MRI, etc. I thought that it would be temporary at first. Was wrong. Immediately lost all balance in my mobility, walking, speaking, eating, bowels and bladder. Diagnosed 4 years ago, same as when you posted this video. Bummer it took that long for me to discover it especially since I've been doing not much of anything besides watching UA-cam since I'm now disabled. Coping has been difficult, I miss the great lifestyle that I had and I'm sure that you do too.
