@Arglefraster certainly. A very basic version is that I had 2 horrendous episodes - where I lost my vision. ..the first was misdiagnosed, but later rectified as both episodes being Optic Neuritis. I was tired to the point I couldn't function and was 10 weeks and 8 weeks respectively bed bound. Horrible pressure in my head (not headaches as such). Thankfully brain scans and spinal scans clear, but one was misread earlier and it turns out I had severe damage to my optic nerve which had been overlooked on my first brain scan some years earlier.
I had what I describe as "heavy arms" (which sounds ridiculous) and numbness in my hands and feet which rendered me fairly useless and unable to function. I eventually got a wonderful Neurologist who concluded that it was probable I had onset MS. It was the darkest time.
I basically went on a research mission to research everything and set about identifying my symptoms and deciphering their root cause and tackling them. (I am not a scientist, but my husband is, so I got him to explain the science in the research papers that I couldn't understand and slowly got to grips with everything). It took a couple of years to tailor it all properly, but I am now on a regime of supplements and (trying) to get as much nutrition out of my food as I can. I am over 10 years on and a completely different person physically. My friends and family are blown away by my transformation. I also no longer suffer from crippling endometriosis and adenomyosis, but that might be age and stage of being peri-menopausal. I am 54, but it started to really ease around 8 years ago.
My number one priority is sleep. I need a minimum of 8 hours sleep a night and if I don't get that, after about 3 days, my health slumps horribly, so I know I have to ensure it. The rest is basic mineral balance (I say basic - now it is finely tuned, and it took a while). Things like I knew my thyroid was not right, but the NHS tests were saying fine, that kind of thing, so I keep my thyroid in check with sea kelp and selenium. The most important supplement is wholefood vit b that I have to have every morning and magnesium (I take loads of magnesium in various forms).
Anyway, I am very strict and it has transformed my life. The final part was my diet/nutrition and my weight. My eyes were opened by reading Jason Fung's books on obesity and I realised I have stubborn insulin resistance. Diets never worked, despite calorie deficits and I got to an all time high of 19+ stone. I fortunately don't get food noise or anything like that, so I am very lucky (no sweet tooth either thankfully), and I thought my diet was healthy (it wasn't). I avoided butter, cream, fat of any kind, eggs, all the stuff that I thought were unhealthy and replaced them with low fat and healthy wholegrains. I religiously stuck to the food pyramid. Basically, I got fatter and fatter.
Anyway, sorted all that now and my diet is the opposite of what I used to do. I follow Dr Berg online who I believe has saved my health.
Sorry this is so long, and not wanting to hijack the thread - others can just click past my post, but that is it in it's very basic form. I hope this is helpful in some way.
