THANK YOU!.. for posting this article. I have referenced it to give to my ex daughter in law and to a good friend. They have both been diagnosed with MS
MS is very difficult to diagnose, even here in the US.
Have they tried high doses of Vitamin D3? up to 10,000 a day? Should get their Vit D levels checked....
Thanks for posting this!

Early diagnosis and treatment is very important for managing this disease. I was very lucky. My GP sent me to a neurologist immediately after hearing my symptoms. After a series of tests I was diagnosed with MS and put on treatment, That was ten-years ago and I haven’t had a relapse since.
Under a regular Blue Cross plan through work, I got the best treatment available anywhere in the world! My medical care and medication haven’t cost the taxpayer a cent.
This would not have been the case under 0-care; I would probably be in a wheelchair by now.
Here is another article about treatment for MS...
