My Diagnosis with M.S.
-Brian Petrelli

Two months after I received my Real Estate License, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Besides my immediate family, I told no one for almost two years.

Multiple Sclerosis is a scary, unpredictable disease and it affects everyone in different ways. For me, high temperatures cause my arms and legs to tingle, go numb and do weird things. I've had vision problems in one eye, and a few other "episodes." For each person, it's different.

I've managed to keep my disease in check by following a strict regimen of diet and exercise. Because of that, many people have asked me for details on exactly what I do. The following is a list of supplements, my basic diet guidelines, some other tips / tricks I've learned and links to people much smarter than I.

If you or a family member has been diagnosed, I'd be more than happy to chat with you in detail about all of this. When I was diagnosed I didn't know anyone to call and all of the literature I received showed people in wheelchairs and walkers. I was scared to death and I understand how freighting it all is.

Diet

This is the biggest aspect of my fight with M.S. and also the hardest. I follow this diet religiously and can not recommend it enough for anyone fighting this disease:

Body Temperature

For many people with M.S., including myself, one of the biggest daily problems is dealing with keeping your body temperature low. In the summer or in overheated rooms, I get fatigued quickly and my hands, legs and fingers start to tingle.

To combat this, I almost always wear shorts in the summer. If I come to your house to list your million dollar home in mid July, you will not see me in a suit. I'll have shorts and a light-weight, cool-weave sport shirt on (Under Armour brand golf shirts seem to work the best). If its over 90 degrees, I'll probably have sandals on as well.

When I work out, I go into my basement, crank up the air conditioner (or open the window in the winter) and try and keep the temperature under 65 degrees. I also use some cool neck wraps if I'm doing cardio work.

Supplements:

Here's a list of the supplements I take to help with my M.S. They are certainly not a cure, but I hope they help you as much as the help me.

Multi-Vitamins:


Liquid Minerals:


Cod Liver Oil - 1 tbsp/day:
Not Capsules. (Suck it up and drink it.)


Testosterone Booster:
(There have been numerous studies on the benefits of testosterone therapies in people with M.S. After reading up on it, I started taking a testosterone booster and really noticed an improvement in my energy levels. I've used both of these in the past.)


Digestive Enzymes:
