Multiple Sclerosis Fatigue - How Cocoa helps 🍫 

Yay 🙌 Happy New Year Kit

Hi, thanks for taking the time to write and share this. I really feel for you in regards to the MS fatigue because you are right, when you have it you are really unable to live a ''normal'' life - it is a very debilitating symptom. I found that when I was first diagnosed I had no experience of MS fatigue, then about 4 years into my diagnosis my fatigue was chronic to the point where I was having time off work and spending a lot of my day in bed. I realised after researching that they were carrying out these studies on cocoa and I started drinking a cup every morning. I believe it changed my fatigue. What I also feel has hugely improved my fatigue and time that I can remain active during the day, is the heights supplements. I sleep better and my fatigue has reduced significantly. If you get time, please look it up. Here is a link that will take you to a blog on it. list.co.uk/news/592/8-reasons-to-try-the-heights-smart-supplement I would be extremely interested to hear how how you get on with the cocoa and if it helps you. I think 6 weeks is where you may start to feel a difference. I will look into the cocoa you mentioned too as I'm always interested in trying new alternatives. Good luck 🤞

@@lauraironstalksms Thank you so much for your reply and the additional information which I will most certainly read Laura. I also had no fatigue outside relapses for many years. It took about 15 years post first relapse in 1991 for it to kick in- so I have been very very fortunate really. My body still works really well 33 years post first relapse/ 30 years post diagnosis. Apart from numbness, clumsiness from attacks of loss of joint position sense and pain. I can even still run (short distance). But this fatigue is like wearing a wet, lead cloak that gets heavier as the day goes on. Some days I wake up and it’s already too heavy to bear- although that is rare. If I can eliminate or just lessen it my whole life would open up again. I know you get it Laura xxxx

@@lauraironstalksms I will definitely bookmark and update in 6 weeks xxx

Happy New Year lovely Lady

Yes! Cocoa smoothies are the best..I did a video of a smoothie recipe on that a long time ago 😊 Cocoa in coffee that's a new one on me but sounds good - like a moccachino?! I'm a chocolate fan too, but just love dark chocolate, now there's no need to justify it 😝. Keep well too and Blwyddyn Newydd Dda 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@lauraironstalksms You may or may not know, but check out the differences between cacao and cocoa. The cacao I use is more bitter but has more nutritional benefits than cocoa. Either way, you can't go wrong with one or the other.👍

@Salvatore-1980 I didn't, but I will be checking this out 😊 thank you

Thank you 🙏
