It's kind of hard to believe, because then wouldn't they be looking at people's old and new cholesterol levels when trying to diagnose MS in unclear cases? Wouldn't they then want all MSers to have their cholesterol checked to make sure it's not too high from demyelination?
(But I admit... I've secretly wondered whether even if I DO have MS--which I prolly don't, but maybe I do, who the h knows--maybe the reason it's stayed so very mild is because I eat a lot of food that's bad for me!! All that fat keeps those nerves remyelinated?  )

Yes, beautiful. I wouldn't lie to you. I've said many times my disdain for doctors, but I really liked this guy. He was top notch. As far as it being true for all MSers... Who knows?
***Moose loves vegetables, and onions and garlic (natures cholesterol fighters) were always on my menu. I once ordered a foot long sub sandwich with just cheese and vegetables and the little girl giggled that she "had never seen a guy my size order that". ---Yes, before MS and The Wreck I was thinner and had some muscle tone. I told her I was all bound up and needed some fiber for a push. HA!
Ahem. Pre MS/first exacerbation I was at 175. NO change in diet but 6 months after that first attack, my numbers shot up to 223. I asked him about it, and that's what he told me.
