glassmom • I've been symptom free (slurred speech, difficulty swallowing and double vision), and in remission, for several months now. I''m not on any medication except desiccated thyroid for my Hashimoto's, also an autoimmune disease. What's working for me are dietary changes (Paleo), gluten-free, vitamins, herbs, minerals - most especially manganese - and rest, rest, rest. Patience is a plus, too.

It's been a long haul trying to figure out what works and what doesn't. I see a holistic practitioner plus a neurologist and an internist (both traditional in their approach) ... so, for me, it's been a combination of reading, discussing, asking questions, and taking what I like and leaving the rest.

You can get better.
