How To Handle MS Flare Ups

[@justinkredible9628]

6:25 Prednisone will not reduce damage it simply speeds up your relapse and helps you get over it quicker. You would think that a quicker recovery would mean there would be less damage but that's not the case unfortunately. It would be nice if that was the case though.

You rock 👍😊 Thank you for your knowledge... new sub.😊

[@LaurenJaneInspires]

Aww thank you! I’m thinking about doing another video covering even more that I’ve learned along the way with MS, like red light therapy devices at home, optic neuritis, what long term steroids can do to you, chiropractor care and Ms etc…are there any topics in particular that you might be interested in?

The Keto diet worked wonders for my MS of 24 yrs.

[@LaurenJaneInspires]

That’s awesome! I did the keto diet for a little while and I lost weight doing it….until I went keto in the morning and lost self control and ate whatever in the evening lol…that’s a quick way to put on weight. But I should totally try it again :). Thanks for sharing and glad you’re doing well!

[@tomthetavernman]

@@LaurenJaneInspires no worries. I just like to share in the hopes that it could help someone else. I’ve actually appeared as a guest on Dave Mac’s podcast to share my whole story. There are many other people with MS that have been helped a lot by this way of eating. Best of luck to you 👍

I’ve had numb hands for 8 years now it’s never gone away and double vision for a year now the meds don’t work but I’ve been diagnosed with primary progressive MS

[@LaurenJaneInspires]

I’m sorry to hear that. I recently experienced double vision and it’s not fun. I’m currently recommitting to eating as close as I can to the Wahls diet. Have you heard of this one? It’s not easy but I think it’s worth aiming for. Sending you positive healing vibes!

[@fishingdownsouth1256]

@@LaurenJaneInspires thanks yes I got her book 2 years ago I tried the diet for a year and I think it was helping it was very hard to keep up so I’ve changed it up a little when I started I never thought I’d crave sugar the way I did I’ve been using a leg massager and compression socks and it’s been helping with my walking I’m no longer using a cane

Hello there. Have you tried doing the carnivore diet? I been doing carnivore for two months now. It’s working for me. I was diagnosed with MS back in2008 😮

[@LaurenJaneInspires]

I haven’t tried that one yet. I’ve heard about it though, glad to hear it’s working for you!

[@janel1977blessed]

Good research out on the benefits Healthy Keto 👍

I can't eat beef.. not even grassfinished

Hello! I was diagnosed 2016 and been carnivore for 8 months. Total transformation. I have my life back.

Thanks for sharing

[@shellbellhealing]

I can't deal with the system at all anymore. I deal with flares myself no prednisone. It instantly triggers severe pain for me. Mine started with sleep paralysis. I'm a Spiritual Healer. There is a demonic aspect to these diseases as strange as that sounds. Look into deliverance from infirmity spirits alongside self care herbs etc wormwood tea Black seed oil ❤

Not only that but our Gut Microbiome plays a major role.

[@OriginalPoppinus]

What amount did you have of prednisone? Was it the high dose of methylprednisolone?

[@LaurenJaneInspires]

Hi, I believe this round was 60mg of prednisone in pill form at the time of this video, but over the past few years I’ve tried it several different ways, including a 2 month taper of 8mg dexamethazone- which was terrible and didn’t work and had many terrible side effects. In 2021 during a cross country move I had a flare up so I did a short 5 day round of dexamethozone at 160mg, which did stop the flare and made me feel amazing, however coming down off it made me have vision problems, dizziness and felt like coming off a rollercoaster ride for days in quite a terrible way. This year I had my first optic neuritis flair where my vision went blurry and they prescribed 1250mg prednisone by pill. Which did work after maybe like 9days but also did a ton of home remedies and quit the job that was stressing me out. (Vision is all better now :) ) I’ve never done the intravenous method due to health insurance issues, however after researching I just found online a medical journal saying: “Oral corticosteroids, for reasons that are not understood, may be associated with an increased risk of developing recurrent Optic Neuritis and should generally be avoided in this circumstance” 🤦🏼‍♀️ I wish one of my drs had told me this before prescribing tons of pills. I still believe most of the natural methods have helped the most, but in extreme circumstances like concern over losing my vision, I’m willing to do a week of prednisone. It is very concerning to me though how the drs seem to be guessing on the dosage and it has always been quite different dosage amounts when I go to different drs. It has made me lose even more confidence in the traditional medical system, especially as there seems to be no accountability when the drugs cause major side effects. My next journey is going to be trying BPC 157 which is a peptide that has been known to help the healing process. Maybe I’ll do a new video about all the new things I’ve tried since this video 🤔

[@OriginalPoppinus]

@@LaurenJaneInspires thank you for your comprehensive reply 🙏🏻I have myelitis and am really poorly, a lot of pain, blurred vision and feel like I’m wearing trousers when I’m not, everything hurts, even water touching my skin, but I also have high blood pressure and issues with my heart racing so I’m really worried about taking the high dose of methylprednisolone, like you I have dwindling faith in the medical profession, they’ve made so many mistakes with me it’s frightening, if your symptoms are mild I would definitely stick to the alternative more natural methods of healing, but my illness is so severe natural methods aren’t enough I feel 😔🙏🏻xx

[@FunWithCars716]

Anyone have any success with alpha lipoic acid supplements?

[@tomashley6377]

Hi....you recommend doing things holistically. Im all for that. Do they have holistic neuroimmunologist?

[@LaurenJaneInspires]

Hi Tom, I'm not sure, but you can go one of two routes ( that I know of) 1. looking for traditional Dr's who happen to be holistic in their mindset ( this has been hard for me to find, but may not be impossible, and looking online at their profiles may help you to find one more aligned with your beliefs and what you're looking for) or 2. finding functional medicine Dr.s and asking for referrals/suggestions to those who specialize in neuroimmunology. The hard thing about functional medicine is (US) insurance doesn't tend to cover it, however if one can afford it I think it's worth it. I have done a mix of the two over the years.

[@tracytrey6254]

What about vitamins like vitamin d3 1,000-4,000 iu, B-Complex, Omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, but if you take you can't take the B-Complex, flaxseed

[@tracytrey6254]

Spinach, kale, salmon, broccoli, whole wheat, I'll have to change milk from 2% to unsweetened almond milk, olive oil, sea salt. I'm trying

[@LaurenJaneInspires]

Yep! All these are great. I could be wrong but I think it's because Bcomplex already has thoseB vitamins-so yes, make sure you're not doubling up too much. Also with B12 I was recommended by my Drs to take it as sublingual as it goes into the bloodstream differently than just a pill that first gets digested in the stomach. So get the kind that melts in your mouth- usually says cherry flavored. But it sounds like you're on top of it! 💪

[@shauncoombs1058]

I was taking A B-12 supplement. My doctor told me to stop . Levels after being tested were over 1,000. Lol😂
