Hello All, I was wondering if some of you lovely lot might have some advice, I was diagnosed with MS last year and thankfully so far have been more or less ok. I have however started to really struggle with tiredness, I don’t know if this is just natural due to a very busy full time job and home life, or whether it’s MS but I was wondering if anyone had found that any particular diets or foods helped with this? I’ve had a look on the MS Society website and seen the few mentioned but keen to know if anyone has had any success or positive experiences? All advice very much appreciated 🙂 Thank you! Elle ---

I’d agree with Paolo… I drink a hell of a lot more water than I used to, and occasionally suck an ice cube as well! If I don’t do that, the fatigue can hit me with devastating consequences… I carry a bottle of cold water in my bag every day, straight out of the fridge at home to the fridge at work - more convenient than ice cubes but rather more portable. ---

Thank you so much for your responses! Which have also made me laugh as my husband is always telling me to drink more water… perhaps I should! Thank you very much indeed 🙂 ---

Hi. Take a look at “Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis” book by a Professor George Jelenick, it is a good read !! ---
