Thank you for this wonderful video. When I was diagnosed with MS in 2016 the neurologist I was seeing told me "pain is not a symptom of MS." I dumped that doctor and moved clinics, and am now seeing a much more understanding MS specialist. I'm currently taking LDN for my autoimmune disease.
Am also taking the yog class of many patients of multiple decease, and believe me after watching all your videos I can help them more better ways..thank you soo much for sharing videos.
Thank you very much for your very clear, very informative, very specific explanations about M. S. I really feel that this help me very much. GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS.

Hello. I've been diagnosed with MS in my early 20's. Turned out it was caused by untreated neuroborreliosis (Lyme disease) from childhood. It got resolved, including lesions, with prolonged antibiotic and herbal therapy. Significant consequences remain though. Wanted to put it out there, since it's a somewhat controversial topic in the mainstream. Thanks for the videos.
Hello Dr. Furlan. I'm new to your channel and find all the info very helpful. I have RRMS and recently suffered an MS flare from a C2 lesion. My doc said its a flare of an old lesion that started about 10 years ago. He calls it an occipital headache. Although I've always had pain in that area, it's been very tolerable and I had acclimated myself to the level of pain I've experienced over the years. However, with this recent flare, it has gotten very bad resulting in pain at the base of my skull every day for several months. No matter what I take, it only lessens the pain a little, but it always exacerbates by morning. I started taking a combination supplement of alpha lipoic acid with acetyl l carnitin. This has helped to make the pain a little more tolerable through the day, but I still wake up with pain daily. My doctor suggested I try Magnesium, since I prefer not to take prescription drugs. Dr. Furlan, I know you did a very informative video on the wonders of magnesium. What do you think about the combination of the alpha lipoic acid and acetyl l carnitin, along with Magnesium to manage occipital nerve pain? Also, which magnesium do you think would be best... oxide or glycinate?
Thank you for watching the video and writing this comment. Please share this video with your friends. I have lots of videos about chronic pain on my channel ua-cam.com/users/DrAndreaFurlan And don't forget to turn on the notifications 🔔
Thanks Dr. For the great information. In the month of January this year my beloved wife went to be with the Lord suffering from Sytamatic Sclerosis for nineteen years. This desease is slow killer. The sad thing is none of the Dr. gave any medicine to her for this problem.
Thank you❤️ I have a friend who has Multiple Sclerosis. She has totally removed dairy from her diet, and it has helped lessen her symptoms. If she accidentally ingests a bit with cooking for the family, her next day is awful. I wonder if anybody else’s symptoms are worse with dairy?
You are helping us alot. Tq so much. Can you please make a video on coccyx pain? I fell down and had crack in my coccyx and suffering alot since a week. Consulted the orthopaedic surgeon but it will be helpful if u can make a video on this
Lyrica doesn’t work for me either. 1. Hypersensitivity, can’t touch my clothing, 2. Feels like I have dementia. 3. Fatiqued constantly. 4. Burning prickly feel - taking Targin for this. 5. Can’t walk far along the beach without feeling short of breath, and I loved life last year, 6. Most important symptom/ head pressure and tingling
Those of us who have tried everything after 20 or more years that she mentioned are not happy about this type of pain management attitude I’m going to be going to see about getting a pain pump just because she is recommending those treatments and drugs doesn’t mean that they are safe and will work for everyone I’ve nearly died from the gabapentin and several others that she mentioned and physical therapy is recommended from her but is useless for me and some people after that long
I mum have an mri scan as I have bilateral neuralgias from cranial nerves optical trigeminal neuralgia optical glossoperyngeal. Tinnitus neuropathic pain. Fibromyalgia’s.
The immune system goes after etiological sources, things that are not supposed to be in the human body. There's got to be a reason why the immune system enters the central nervous system.
Thanks for explaining the types of pain mam.I am diagnosed with RA recently. Now I experience pain in the left side of face beneath ear.and also pain in spinal cord. I am doing some physiotherapy & hot water fomenting. Please advise what should I do further to reduce pain.

Pot is something I react poorly to I become as angry and aggressive as I do when I take steroids. And instead of helping my eye sight it both have caused blood vessels to burst. So I believe you have to taking in account of other issues the person has going on. The other medications you advised do make be feel better in large amounts, but have caused my stomach and colon to react. They cause Diarrhea to and or a continuous urge to go. My incontinence is much worse. I have worried about addiction to 5 gm opid that I'm taking and I often only take one a morning and as needed. When my Bulging disc, sciatica, spainal arthritis, and a host of other issues like my sprained foot hurts. The pain is lowered to a bearable level , so you now are saying it is adding to my pain. I started out asking for 4 hours a day , but my pain as increased over the years antidepressants I've tried made me suicidal and so I'm left with very little missing things I want to do. I've had insurance cut my medications for weeks and only my bowel system is effected not with pain thank goodness but with other issues mostly because it is dealing with pain it systems.
I got misdiagnosed w/ Lupus, when I was 30. It was beyond frustrating knowing my symptoms had nothing to do w/ Lupus. I finally found a wonderful neurologist, who specializes in MS, who dx me correctly at 40. I’m now 53, however, after not being dx for many years, I am secondary progressive. Look for help NOW, and don’t give up! The sooner you’re dx, the sooner it can be treated! God bless and keep you.
Hi Dr Furlan, I been having tingling in BOTH of my hands feet& face since Sept 2022. I have been having tremors as well. Also theses vibrating sensations various parts of my body. Is this what you are calling electrical sensations??I had covid in July of this year. Is this post covid symptoms/ long covid? Or can it be ms related? I came down with severe fatigue in Sept,that how it all started.. I know lots of people are having similar post covid issues. Hope you are able to reply.
I have TN and ON, MCAS. Anti histamines stop the pain. I take pregablin Zyrtec montelukast. Fibromyalgia is caused by mcas. TN can be caused by mcas. Optic neuritis is caused by mcas. So, I can’t agree that fibromyalgia is not related to MS.

That is very controversial.
Typically, the diagnostic process for MS rules out Lyme disease first. I say this as an MS patient myself.

Pain free foods-times of India article on TN, helped me. Magnesium is good for nerve pain but I don’t think it helps for this signaling pathway.

Nutrition is extremely important. Eating foods that reduce inflammation are truly life enhancing.
Yes, I agree!

Many anti inflammatory diets for patients with MS include removing dairy.

Ma'am how to differentiate multiple sclerosis from vit b12 deficiency neuropathy and cervical spondylosis??
What happened to u 😢
I have all of these. But I was told I have lupus

Somewhat off topic, but I just have to ask. Was Mira Furlan related to you, the famous actress who played Delen in Babylon 5?
You may ask the question, but I don't need to answer.

You likely have long covid. Diagnosing MS is a very long process. If you do not meet the diagnostic criteria then you don't have MS.
I have TN and ON, MCAS. Anti histamines stop the pain. I take pregablin Zyrtec montelukast. Fibromyalgia is caused by mcas. TN can be caused by mcas. Optic neuritis is caused by mcas. So, I can’t agree that fibromyalgia is not related to MS.

Yes, reflux can caus persistent cough.

Is there cure for this disease?
Can you tell me how is it different from NMO
Hi Saminha, we still did not find a cure for MS, but there are a lot of research going on and I'm hopeful it will not take too long.
Thank you Mam..
Let's hope for the best.
There is no cure, only drugs that may suppress the disease. I say this as an MS patient myself.

Signing for Lord’s Prayer
Is there get butter or
On
It depends. Please ask your doctor.
Is there tast ?
What is your question?
There is no test that can determine MS. The diagnostic criteria involves finding lesions on your brain and ruling out other illnesses.

Do you really think a 70 year old can do all that stuff
