Over the last couple of weeks, I have learned some information that I thought was important enough to share with all of you. I had my check up with Dr. H. 2 weeks ago. During that appointment, I asked him again what the odds are of me passing MS on to my children, or to any future children. He reiterated again, that the chances are very slim. His Father has MS, yet none of his siblings do, at this point. Dr. H. said that he gives his own children Vitamin D. He actually gives them extra. I had never heard before that Vitamin D is a good barrier and protector against developing MS. I have thought about it, and have considered doing the same thing for my kids.
This morning, as I loaded on to Facebook, there was a message from the National MS Society stating the same thing. A study done in Australia is proving that Vitamin D and frequent exposure to the Sun has a huge impact on helping people to not develop MS. Just thought I'd pass that information along. I for one would like to do everything I can, to help keep my family from ever having to experience this disease. Hope that helps!
