Hello everyone,

Multiple Sclerosis brings a whole host of symptoms that many patients endure before being diagnosed. Some of the most common symptoms are double vision, bladder issues, pain and spasms...unfortunately, the list goes on.

What Multiple Sclerosis symptoms did you first experience? How did you manage the symptoms?

It's really weird. I was cooking dinner...stirring a pot when my fingers wouldn't hold the spoon. But it only lasted a few seconds & I blew it off. But, I will never forget that....

I remember total numbness starting in my arms & then I was just from my waist down I was just eating because I had too not because I was hungry! I lost weight, and just didn't feel well at all.

I was around 58 when my thumb started giving me problems. As time passed i had other symptoms; hand tremors, restless sleep, muscle weakness, cognitive decline, loss of vision in an eye. At 60 i was diagnose of Multiple Sclerosis, i was on Avonex for two years, they helped alot but not for long. As the disease progressed my symptoms worsened, with my neurologist guidance i started on natural alternative Multiple Sclerosis treatment from H.H.C. (Health Herbs Cliic), the treatment worked very effectively, my severe symptoms simply vanished, i feel better now than I have ever felt and i can feel my strength again. Visit ww w. healthherbsclinic. c om. My neurologist was very open when looking at alternative medicines and procedures, this alternative MS treatment is a breakthrough. always thankful for nature that helps in managing these terrible diseases. Hope this will help somebody

After an MRI i was diagnosed of MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS. After years on medications, symptoms worsened with tremors on my right hand, numbness and tingling, muscle weakness and loss of speech. Fortunately last year, i learnt about Health Herbs Clinic and their Multiple Sclerosis alternative treatment ( ww w. healthherbsclinic. com ), the Multiple Sclerosis treatment made a great difference, most of my symptoms including tremors, weakness and others gradually disappeared. I improved greatly over the 6 months treatment, its been a years since the treatment, i have no symptoms. I have a very good quality of life and a supportive family!

I usually search on Youtube for any interesting documentaries. Whilst looking up youtube videos I came across a documentary on people who suffer Multiple sclerosis (MS) and their real treatment from MADIBAHERBALCENTER.COM I had never heard of this crippling and debilitating disease affecting a lot of Americans. It is very tortuous to watch and hear patients who suffer. It is more like a combination of various diseases all put into one. Like a person who has suffered a stroke, plus someone suddenly becoming paralysed, cancer etc. but I also get to understand that there has been a successful cure to this disease from  MADIBAHERBALCENTER.COM It is too much for a patient to endure such as they slowly begin to pass away if the right medication is not taken .Having a positive mind is a powerful tool .My prayers go out to Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and their caregivers.

I first experienced numbness and weaknesses on left side of body: shoulders to toes. It only lasted for six weeks then was completly completely gone for six years. Only to return with a vengeance and took me down!

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis when I was 52 years old 4 years ago. The Bafiertam did very little to help me. The medical team did even less. My decline was rapid and devastating. It was muscle weakness at first, then my hands and tremors. Last year, a family friend told us about Natural Herbs Centre and their successful MS Ayurveda TREATMENT, we visited their website naturalherbscentre. com  and ordered their Multiple Sclerosis Ayurveda protocol, i am happy to report the treatment effectively treated and reversed my Multiple Sclerosis, most of my symptoms stopped, I’m able to walk and my writing is becoming great, sleep well and exercise regularly. I’m  active now, I can personally vouch for  these remedy but you would probably need to decide what works best for you🧡.

I am not sure about the exact symptom that I noticed. Probably 2009. I fell and hit my face from 10 steps up, or the time I fell just walking along a sidewalk or at Thanksgiving when I became so dizzy I had to go to the emergency room. The hospital couldn't find anything wrong. They didn't think about MS. No MRI given in the 4 days in the hospital. I wasn't diagnosed until 2019 at 67 years old.

About 2 weeks after my first child was born, I began with what I thought was a migraine and 10days in I noticed it was painful to move my left eye and my vision was a little blurry.
