I am going to pop in here after reading the food list....

MS symptoms share symptoms with low B12.

Here is a video that includes a young man who was undiagnosed with low B12:

If you have had a B12 level done, and were told "normal" I'd suggest you get those numbers. Ranges in US are still very low and unflagged for doctors. The new low is 400pg/ml.

If you haven't had the test, then please get one. You may discover that your vision and symptoms respond to B12 treatment. Using methylcobalamin which is the active form orally is best, since the injections are synthetic and some people have a genetic error and cannot activate them.

This is my B12 thread, with many medical links:

Some of the members on the MS forum already use methylB12.
Optic neuritis can also be due to low B12 levels...so it is really important up front to have this done NOW, rather than later.

New estimates are that up to 40% of people in the US are lower than 400pg/ml and have neurological symptoms. If not identified early, these may become permanent.

So please do this for yourself, now.

so this is just all confusing just like the rest of the stuff ive read so ill just avoid it and talk to my doctor. you didn't really help me like I was expecting.

I'm sorry, there is no single simple answer for weight loss.
I hope the dr can be of help to you.
good luck.

I had found a very simple stratedgy for weight loss & improved health, it is outlined in my post, linked below:
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/post1023098-4.html

Basically this:

1. I abandoned the notion of using an appettite suppressant.
2. I just stuck to the convential wisdom of:
A. Portion control(eating less).
B.Exercise(30 to 60 minutes/day)
3. Regarding the quality of eating(you are what you eat), I avoided:
A. Fat
B. Suger
C. salt
...not completely, but I made it a habit to consciously evaluate everything I considered eating.

I have lost 50 lb.s since March 2012.

Real simple, no voodoo involved. Drink the recommended 2 to 3 L. of water per day, just eat from the basic food groups that are well known. Avoid(cut back) #3A,B & C listed above. If you drink alcohol, keep it moderate. Rather than feeling deprived, look at these lifestyle changes as an acomplishment that is long overdue.

Exercise! Do something every day, like walking your dog(s) [have fun!] , or riding a bike or just plan walking down the road, just to explore.
