Thanks for sharing. Great coping strategies for the zoom meetings!

Carnivore has been amazing for me. I stoped dping it because I got super stressed trying to get back to work after 3 surgeries and a 16 month medical leave, having to literally fight to get back. I have now been back since early February and eating like crap now and in soooo much pain in my right eye, legs and arms. I was wondering why I had so much pain lately and it hit me, the crap food! Sugar is my opioid.

Interesting to hear the carnivore diet worked well for you! I've heard good things, I still wonder how one gets the nutrients though that come from the veggies and dark fruits etc- I like to do something close to the whals diet but even that is very hard. I'm sorry to hear you're having pain, and we all go through the struggle to not eat the sugars etc as it's so prevalent in American diet. I am convinced in the future we will see eating sugar like we now see having cocaine in coca-cola. Sounds like you know what to do though, just need to commit and do it so you can be without the pain. I know it's easier said then done, but you got this! Sending you healing vibes!

Why did the Dr think tecfidera wasn’t working anymore ?

[@LaurenJaneInspires]

At the time I was having a flare up and had had a few flare ups, he just sort of flippantly said “well you can stop taking Tecfidera as it doesn’t seem to be working anyhow” - I suppose his reasoning was because I was having flare ups he didn’t think it worked and must have an expectation that you wouldn’t have flare up on the meds but this wasn’t what he had explicitly said. He and his team has since tried very hard to get me on stronger medicines, but when you look up the potential side effects like cancer, death etc, it’s just not worth the risk for me. None of my flare ups have been bad enough, even the eye sight issue to be worth those risks. Even the potential terrible things they say could happen still sound better to me. And I haven’t noticed a significant change in my health since getting off Tecfidera a few years ago, so I’m glad I’m no longer risking encephalitis as that was one of the main negative potential risks for that one, however out of all the other medicines they offered back in 2014, at least Tecfidera had less potential side effects and was one of the only ones that wouldn’t possibly cause suicidal thoughts, which is why I chose it at the time. I can’t even believe these are the kinds of things we have to consider when trying to heal and they really didn’t go over diet or any natural healing methods, if anything all of the western medicine drs have either laughed or tried to steer me away from these things which makes no sense to me, but this is why it’s important to just know they are viewing the world through their knowledge and perspective and those who have researched things like diet, Acupunture, red light therapy etc are seeing things through their lens and knowledge. I hope that everyone is trying to do what’s best, but there is definitely potential of Drs being swayed by huge pharmaceutical companies and their financial incentives, maybe even unintentionally swayed as they may mean well, but their education system is just broken.

Yeah, the cancer risk alone is a no go for me. Plus, I have had this since I was at least a preteen or younger and only diagnosed last year in early 50's. It has been progressive for me but only major medical traumas cause major flares and I am sure they wo I ld anyway, like head injuries from falls, getting 2 new knees because of so many falls all my life, quad surgery because after my 2 knee replacements I started falling almost immediately and tore my quads off my left knee within a week from surgery. A few other life traumas like divorce and covid, being isolated from covid, etc.. major trauma gave me flares but I didn't even know that it was MS. By the time I found out, those drugs were not going to help anyway. Honestly, don't know that they ever would have. No way ate the side effects, especially possibly cancer an acceptable risk for me.

Would you say it took more than 3 months for your vision to fully return to normal?

[@LaurenJaneInspires]

@crystalvelasquez7594 I think it was quicker as I recall, the main problem was maybe 2 weeks, and then slowly got better, didn't have perfect vision for maybe a month as I recall, but I don't think it ended up being 2 months or any longer. Hope if you or a loved one is going through this that you heal quickly!
