What people don't realize is that he doesn't have the progressive form of MS.. When you do, it is difficult to exercise due to the loss of your ability to walk and to make your body cooperate. His diet & exercise may be a very good suggestion for early RRMS, but when you have lost control over your body from this disease... It's a struggle to be strong enough to even get through each day... I have seen my husband go from a hard working man to a man who struggles to walk, talk, remember things, and even to know if he has to go to the bathroom... I've met people with MS who are going blind, live in a wheelchair, & struggle to get their words out that keep pushing themselves every day... These are the people who should represent the true story of MS... They are the real faces of this disease... & they show the world that even though the adversity, not to give up...

Yes, Debbie... That is what I am talking about... People who have Progressive forms of MS... Since these forms are rarer forms, they are rarely represented to the public... My husband has PRMS, and has progressed rapidly, even with his medications and, yes, exercise through physical therapy... Despite dietary changes, supplements, exercise, he has progressed to spasms whenever he tries to use the muscles in his legs... So, he is in a temporary wheelchair... Waiting for a permanent fitted wheelchair.... So, now, he can only exercise his legs from his chair... Until they spasm... And his arms... Until the tremors set in..... Keep trying, Debbie... Don't ever give up trying... I just felt like someone who is dealing with these worsening symptoms of Progressive Multiple Sclerosis should let people know that life with this disease is not as easy for everyone.... This disease that people say is a hidden disease... For some, is not hidden at all.....

Dx in 1996. I agree with everything Montel says. The medics try to tell me I have spasticity coming in and I am transitioning from remitting relapsing to secondary progressive. I’m not taking that, the points of a label is not to serve me, it’s for the medics to categorise! I have always tried to keep doing everything I want ..... I’ve encountered times when I haven’t been able to walk ..... up I have never opted for a wheelchair. Cause I am determined to keep my legs going ..... I’m with you Montel ..... live each day to the fullest!

This is Montels way he does it. Anyone with MS knows there are no two cases alike. Personally, I was told by a doctor after being in a wheelchair for six months, I would never walk again. Instead of just listening to what the doctor said, I got mad, and thought I’ll prove him wrong. After months of hard grueling work, I’m proud to say I walk today. I can relate to some of his symptoms, but I have a lot more pain. With MS, everyday is different, I can go on and on, I was diagnosed at the age of 26, I’m 52 now. I’ve had a lot of ups and downs. The biggest life change I did that did help me was I moved to Florida. I was told years ago by a doctor the vitamin D from the sun might help. He was right, while you need to avoid the heat in the summer, it has paid off for me personally. I was in northern Wisconsin. I’ve thought of making a video to share my experiences, and there have been a lot

I've had MS for 35 years and have never used meds. Like you said, I eat organic fruits and vegetables. I rely heavily on my Vitamix for smoothies. I've been gluten free many years before I was diagnosed. And many years before it was acceptable. Fortunately, my doctors are on board and just say carry on, you're doing well. It's not a cure and I live in the UK, so I get very little sun. I was educating myself long before I knew what was wrong. I've found that being knowledgable and proactive means having a better relationship with my doctors.

I was diagnosed with MS in November 2017. Only 2 weeks after my wedding. Hospitalized for 4 days. Loss of motor skills on right side of my body. 5 days of steroids helped me get back to baseline. Tried Gilenya for a month and relapsed. 5 more days steroids. 2 months later relapsed again. 5 more days steroid treatment. Same symptoms but recovery slower. MRI showed 5 brain lesions. Switched medicine to Ocrevus in May 2018 after returning to close to baseline. No more relapses so far (Knock on wood) and 2 of my brain lesions have reduced in size or disappeared. Doctors say it's abnormal but I say it's God's plan. I thank him for creating the people that created Ocrevus.

Montel partially owns a dispensary in Sackotomatoes, CA, which hits triple digit temperatures in the Summer, which obscenely bites for people who have MS. Some decent people transported me to SF, which has more and better dispensaries, and *just* reached its yearly high temps of low 80s. Oh, how I miss what I had and despise what what I now have. =|

He lays it down in terms of his circumstances. Having money to buy the right meds and food and seeing the best doctors. Ideally, his testimony is inspiring to those under his circumstances. For those of us whom struggle to work, come up with rent, have to take work days off to go see the doctor, are those who experience MS in it's rarest form; reality and living with it's limitations. I don't even know now what it would be like to not be able to work; as difficult as it is. I am blessed for being able to struggle through.

Diagnosed 4 years ago... went from walking normally, foot started to drag, balance was off, etc. Now I have been in a wheelchair for about 3 months. I exercised almost every day for 3 years... now I cannot stand, so I exercise from my wheelchair. My upper body still works pretty well, and I don't want to lose that. I have ppms, and all the doctors tell me it's only going to get worse. I prefer to listen to my own body. It has gotten worse in my lower body but keeping my upper body strong will help if my lower body improves. I walk with my forearm crutches inside my house every day.

I applaud everything that Montel is doing and saying. I have much respect for him and think that he is doing the right things. The only problem in some peoples lives is that they can't eat healthy because they can't afford it and some ppl are on disability and are lucky to be eating 'something', even with food stamps, because they don't get enough money on disability. I wish that there was something set up where ppl that had MS, Cancer, Rheumatoid Arthritis, autoimmune diseases,etc...could get healthy food so they could fight the diseases head on like Montel is. Some people eat Ramen every week just to get by and that's not healthy. One of the main problems is that healthy foods are too expensive and the unhealthy foods are cheap. Something should be done so that eating healthy is possible for everyone, even the poor. But back to MS...everything Montel is saying is right & make sure you don't over do it and take your meds. I think everyone needs to be on one of the MS drugs whether it's Avonex, Rebif, Copaxone, Betaseron, or whatever your doctor puts you on because the sooner your on one of them the sooner your disease slows (for most). What it boils down to is... 'take care of yourself' however you can because you only have this one life.

SLaRee333. HAVE TO WRITE IN CAPS AS IAM LEGALLY BLIND. WITH THAT SAID I AGREE WITH WHAT UR SAYING ABOUT THIS HORRIFIC DISEASE.. AT AGE 26 I BROKE MY LEFT FOOT VERY BADLY IN 5 PLACES, I KNEW VERY QUICKLY THAT SOMETHING WAS REALLY WRONG. APPROX. 1 YR. LATER I WENT TO AN ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON WHO KNEW IMMEDIATELY THAT I HAD (C.R.P.S) COMPLEX REGIONAL PAIN SYNDROME) A SEVERE NERVE DAMAGING DISEASE THAT SPREADS KILLING OFF BODY PARTS AS IT PROGRESSES, THIS DISEASE IS THE MOST PAINFUL CHRONIC PAIN CONDITION IN THE WORLD. ANYHOW I STARTED THE ENDLESS DR. APPT'S,, TESTS, AND. LOTS OF MEDS.- ABOUT 4-5 MONTHS INTO THAT LIVING HELL, I WAS THEN ADDITIONALLY DIAGNOSED WITH M.S/FIBROMYALGIA/ LUPUS AND MUCH MORE TO COME. ONE THING THAT MY ILLNESSES HAD/HAVE IN COMMON IS THAT THEIR SYMPTOMS ALL MIMMIC ONE ANOTHER.. SINCE THE FIRST DAY WITH M.S I HAVE NEVER GONE INTO REMISSION, IVE ALWAYS RUN A WICKED HIGH FEVER, THAT PAIN WHERE YOU CAN NEVER EXPLAIN IT TO ANYBODY UNLESS THEY'VE BEEN THERE, IVE ALSO HAD THE PAIN SINCE THE ONSET OF C.R.P.S 24/7- I HONOSTLY CANNOT REMEMBER MY LIFE WITHOUT IT. I HAVE SEVERE INVOLUNTARY TREMORS, MUSCLE SPASM'S, BILATERAL FOOT DROP, MUSCLE. WEAKNESS, STABBING/BURNING/THROBBING/ SENSATIONS, TINGLING, NUMBNESS, TOTAL LOSS OF FEELING THRIUGHOUT MY BODY. MEMORY LOSS, LACK OF CONCENTRATION, SOMETIMES I STUTTER, IVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REMEMBER MY OWN NAME, HOW TO SPELL AS WELL AS THE INABILITY TO MOVE MY HAND TO WRITE.LETS SEE.... UM CLUSTER HEADACHES, CHEST PAIN, TROUBLE SWALLOWING, GRAND MALL SEIZURES, DONT SLEEP FOR 8-11 DAYS/NIGHTS AT A CLIP AND OF COURSE TOTAL EXHAUSTION N FATIGUE. SO AS I SAID IN THE BEGINNING, I SO AGREE WITH UR COMMENTS. WE R ALL DIFFERENT AND WHAT WORKS FOR ONE MAY NOT ANOTHER. ALSO I BELIEVE ITS TRUE THAT ALOT OF US JUST CANNOT AFFORD TO EAT HEALTHY BECAUSE. WE SIMPLY CANNOT AFFORD IT. DOCTORS ARE ONLY GUESSING WHEN IT COMES TO OUR TREATMENTS. 26 YRS. INTO THESE ILLNESSES AND IVE TRIED MANY DIFFERENT APPROACHES- FOR ME, OPIATES, BENZO'S-FOR THE ANXIETY, MUSCLE RELAXERS, NEURONTIN, MULTI-VITAMINS, AND A WHOLE LOT OF CRYING. I WISH YOU ALL THE VERY BEST. THANK YOU

I agree that everyone’s situation is different. I’m glad it worked for him well to walk and to eat fruit and vegetables. But not only everyone can’t afford it, not everyone can walk or can eat fruits without issues. I have Mast cell activation syndrome. I also a genetic problem with connective tissue (hEDS) So I have to be on low histamine diet, many of those fruits can trigger my allergic reactions. Also, my vein compression syndromes has put me into misery with eating. I have a hard time to barely eat 1/3 of a normal size meal without having excruciating pain in my abdomen. So eating fruits and veggies in large quantities aren’t possible for me even to sustain a healthy weight. Healthcare has never been one shoe fits all kind of situation. We are all individual with different genetic makeups.

My first attack was 12 ago. When the doctor told me the diagnosis ,I told him to stop I didn't need to know more I asked can it be healed he said no and I said I know who can . I got on my knees and I cried out loud and put it at Christ feet. I don't think about it I just take charge . The word of God says ask in the name of Jesus Christ and it shall be added .

I totally agree, cannabis aka marijuana is very useful medicinally and it definitely is underused & we all know why that is. I think that it is helpful in symptoms of MS and other diseases. It's already been proven to help cancer symptoms. There is a little boy alive because of a trial involving marijuana, he's in total remission. I'm not saying smoke it and it's a cure for cancer, etc...but it could be...possibly, if it is researched properly, who knows?

I agree but I'm afraid 2 try it. I found out that o had MS at age 27 in 2007. I lost my mind. I didn't no what it was I'm like oh no does my child have as well. I just had the tingling in my lower legs and numbness. One doctor I saw before I went 2 the emergency room just gave me a steriod. I've tried tysabri and it was great. Just hated the fact that I had no immune system. I've done the research and it's only one thing we need from cannibas and that's tch. My sister in law is a doctor so I asked her. But doctors don't ask us if we would like to try it. It's a natural plant. Man added things 2 it and made it more than it needed to be.

I use cannabis like nobodies business. I wear it,eat it,smoke/vape it.coconut oil sunflower lecithin. APA(alpha lipoic acid) PH and magnesium rubs help GREAT!! but its not a fix all but a major way to go though. working out is super tough. eating is hard too but more doable but still tough.and Im not in a wheelchair and can still walk decently too. and if and when that goes? forget about it LOL best of Luck everyone with all your fights and woes.

I agree with montel on being able to take the time to research your health issues and ask the drs. Problem when u do that, they assume you are looking for meds and drug seeking, looking for things that aren't there and you end up in an insanity ward in a hospital... yes... my diagnosis story....to be declared sane pissed off and in pain.... before I was taken seriously.... so until the professionals came be open to not knowing every answer and are willing to let patients help them help the patient.... doing your own research and actually talking to most drs about it WILL work against you..... very sad state

I've had MS for 27 years. I totally agree with you that we need to stay away from foods with inflammatory properties. One of those are those containing saturated fats and one of those is coconut. I was surprised to hear you say you make your produce smoothies with coconut milk. I strongly recommend the book "Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis" by George Jelinek. It is an evidence based lifestyle being followed by thousands of us across Canada. Look for it on the web.

My dad has ms and so does my aunt and it is really hard to watch them be sick every second of every day and as a 13 year old I know nothing different. My dad has had it since before I was born and up until I met my friends parents I thought all dads were sick all the time and I thought I was the only one who had to deal with it but then I learned my aunt had it and lots and lots of other people. And I think it is important that more people need to know about ms because my friends still make fun of me to this day saying things like your dad is a fake and it is because they don't know so I think we all should try and get it out there because lots of people still don't know about it

My BIG question for Montel Williams is what type of Multiple Sclerosis he has. This sounds mostly like Relapsing-Remitting MS (RRMS) and is the most common. With the proper medications, diet and exercise can keep the MS at a even level. If an aspiration occurs, the person will not have different or worse symptoms. If a person has Progressive Relapsing MS (PRMS) will worsen as an aspiration happens. It is VERY unlikely Primary Progressive MS (PPMS) is his diagnosis. This is the most rare and aggressive type of MS that even with proper diet and medications the nerves and communication within the brain is on a steady decline. I have yet to hear Montel Williams disclose that to what type of Multiple Sclerosis he has.

If a drug stops you from having relapses, it's doing its job! The MS drugs aren't for making you better. They are just for hopefully reducing the number of and shortening the length of relapses. So if it totally stops them for you, that's amazing and wonderful!

Too bad most people with MS aren't moving as well as Montel. Many of us can barely walk or use one of our hands. If you have progressive MS, like me, then diet and exercise do not stop MS disability progression. That stuff is important in general, so we should do it, but it's not a cure. Nothing repairs our nervous system damage...at least not yet, but maybe soon with two of the new drugs currently being tested
