I saw my neurologist last week. He's at a national medical school and said he now wanted to test me for both copper and zinc deficiency as they can mimic MS and lead to damage. I did a bunch of reading on the topic and the copper deficiency can definitely cause demyelination.

I just got the results back. My Zinc is fine. But my copper is right on the borderline of normal-low. Very interesting! I also have been struggling with iron deficiency and borderline anemia. I might start taking a low dose of copper. I already take Vitamin D, B vitamins, and magnesium supplements.
