my friend has been diagnosed with MS today.
I was expecting if because his legs are affected, he walks unsteadily.
The neurologist tesed his eyes on 01.08.07 and assumed it was MS because one eye was slow at following the neurologist's finger.
During the diagnosis, the neurologist teste his eyes again and said this his eyes are better.
I have advised my friend to take evening primrose and a multivitamin.
I dont know if that helped.
Any advice?

Well, your friend clearly has a good friend in you, if that makes sense. What you've suggested certainly won't do any harm and may well help. Have a look at the MS Society's website, they have lots of good suggestions on there.

Some people advise taking vitamin B6 but this is not advised for people with M.S.
They should avoid echinacea too and flu injections. I'm not sure about evening primrose oil, it's worth checking out to see what manufacturers say.
I have had M.S. for 14 yrs and know that if I'm tired or stressed, my sight gets a bit worse and I slur. The neurologist would know your friend was under stress and would check his eyes again.

MS & its symptoms can be caused by infections of which some doctors know little or nothing about-if in doubt you could try for a second opinion-the private hospital below may investigate him & give a second opinion.

i have read lots of articles that state lots of people have been diagnosed with MS, but have in fact another problem which shows alot of the same symptoms as MS but is just thickening of the blood. they are advised to take an asprin every day and the symptons go. also there have been cases again with all the same symptons but it is mild carbon monoxide poisoning caused by faulty appliances, so maybe your friend could check all this out. Good luck.
