Multiple Sclerosis Can
Include As MS Symptom

tremors, twitching or tics are different names for the uncontrollable
movement of the arms, legs, hands or feet, which are often a big
the majority of people, who are diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis each
many different countries around the world.
spasms or tremors are like a knee jerk reaction, when the doctor
hits your knee with a small hammer to test your reflexes, but in the
of the cases of Multiple Sclerosis the spasticity is more out of
more random and can occur too frequently.
patients may experience can be mild to severe and can be more frequent
occur every so often.
spasticity can be so severe that it can almost throw you on the floor
it happens, if you don't hang on to something.
help to reduce the spasticity MS patients can experience?
majority of people diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis appear to be more
severely deficient in the mineral called magnesium.
Magnesium helps to
regulate the function of the nerves.
levels of magnesium in the body are too low, the nerves can react more
erratically causing spasms, twitches or tremors, in addition to other
like heart arrhythmia's, leg cramps, some nerve pain or even misfiring
nerves that may cause different parts of the nervous system to sort of
short-circuit and not transfer signals properly.
different forms of magnesium, which can be used to help increase the
level of magnesium in the body to help regulate the function of the
better through out the body.
Forms of magnesium
that can help calm down the spasticity
can cause can include:
(comes with or without calcium)
absorbs best if taken in a combination form with calcium and vitamin
in tablet, capsule or powdered form.
work better than others. I have found that for me, magnesium
tablets don't work well, because of the fillers that are added for
agents to bind the tablets together.
to make a difference too. I have found that Country Life brand
works the best for me.
basically concentrated sea water (or magnesium chloride).
good to use if you aren't too extremely deficient in magnesium and it
is easier to use, than taking tablets or capsules, since it is spread
skin and allowed to absorb into the blood stream, but this doesn't work
well, if your levels of magnesium are too extremely low.
powder (made from
organic barley greens)
green powder made by Green Foods company and is naturally higher in
mixed with water to drink. This works great if taken 1 to 3 times a
day for calming down the leg, hand, etc. spasms, twitching or tremors.
Foods Higher in
include oats and oatmeal, eating or juicing or grinding larger amounts
of greens and drinking it or eating it.
vegetables are higher in magnesium. Kale works the best, from what
I have tried myself.
first diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, 13 years ago, I had
terrible spasms, tremors or twitches and I tried all kinds of things
found the things that worked for calming down the spasticity Multiple
whole foods, including kale, carrots, beets and sometimes spinach
and drink them 1 to 2 times a day and it has really helped get rid of
combination of the things listed above, but when the spasms get so bad
that they cause me nerve pain, taking the supplement of a 1 to 1 ratio
calcium and magnesium (basically equal amounts of calcium and magnesium
together) I find that this works faster and is more effective.
also take the Green Magma, along with drinking the ground veggies most
days and I eat oats or oatmeal more often. But some days I find that
magnesium oil is enough by itself.
don't take the calcium and magnesium combination supplement for a few
weeks, then the leg spasms become almost unbearable, to where it causes
that you will find relief to the spasticity
has caused you.
all types of magnesium that are on the market will work for everyone,
diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.
Keep trying different forms of magnesium until you find one or more
that work for you, since taking or using some type of magnesium that
helps to increase your magnesium levels helps to calm down the over
reactive nervous system.
Remember...magnesium needs to be taken with calcium and vitamin D to
aid in absorption of the magnesium.
Increasing taking magnesium more gradually will help you to find the
among that your body needs. If you get diarrhea from taking
the extra magnesium, then you are taking more than your body needs or
Also, if you are taking higher levels of vitamin C, you will need to
reduce the amount of vitamin C that you are taking until you reach the
level of magnesium that your body needs, since taking higher levels of
vitamin C and magnesium at the same time can both give you diarrhea.
The amount of vitamin C and magnesium that you are taking need to be
balanced out, so as to avoid ending up with diarrhea too often.
Discuss any vitamin supplements or herbs that you are considering
taking with your doctor before you start taking anything, since some
vitamins are very limited as to how much the body can tolerate without
you ending up taking toxic levels that your body may not be able to
