Great info for X-ALD/AMN’s spasticity. I do all reccos. Saw a dramatic response with spasticity and pain. Actually a carnivore with frozen blueberries here and there in yogurt. Nutrition plan, sleep and movement is huge! Nothing against vegetables- it’s a personal choice, but definitely no carbs at all. Overall my symptoms decreased and are consistent. No triggers, no flare ups, etc and know exactly what creates issues.

No great supplements for spasticity except maybe baclofen and magnesium glycinate at night help a ton. I looked into improving mitochondria, which powers your cells/your body to do the very things being discussed. Nothing sucks more than trying to improve symptoms with low energy. Almost half of my mitochondria cells are dead and weak freeloading in my body with a smaller portion being strong. I put myself in good stress environments which kick the freelladers not contributing out and invite strong healthy ones in to move this body of mine. My examples: zone 2 exercises - whatever gets your heart rate up, strength training, walking long durations, intermittent fasting, I do 3 day fasts twice a month, sauna, and cold shower.

You can play with the kids, do chores too in order to get your heart rate up.

Avoid being lazy or disguising it as resting - unless you are doing the work. Laying around and not moving makes things worse. Do what you can with monthly goals. Do better each month. Little by little you’ll improve drastically.

Fun fact: in this mitochondria protocol for my legs and ditched my leg braces. Neuro PT, ortho and neurologist were baffled.

Write both of our ideas down. Pick which easy ones to start with and build from there.

Thank you Tara. You explained everything I went through 16 years ago. I had a lot of pain in my low back and in my butt. MRIs showed nothing. High powered pain relievers didn't help. I went to PT. Did Acupuncture and Chiropractors. Nothing helped. The pain got so bad after a few years I had to leave work and go on disability. A year later I went to a Orthopedic BONE doctor. We did CAT scans and he couldn't find anything. He mentioned HAM STRING. I looked up exercises on google. I came across BACKWARD LUNG. It Helped a lot. The reason I had the pain was my wok schedule and location changed. I had to commute an hour or so on a train each way. In my job I had to sit down all the time to sell train tickets. (standing wasn't always an option). On breaks I was to tired to walk around much. Now the only time I have pain is when I SIT in one place to long.🤓

Great content as always. My left lower side affected side produces pain in my quad and hip area when I apply full weight at times. Usually when I over do it. Then the leg feels very heavy and spastic. Thoughts?
