Leg weakness and MS?
Howdy!
I'm interested in hearing whether anyone has any suggestions on what to do about leg weakness (not cramps) on Atkins. My aunt (who doesn't yet have access to a computer) has MS and has recently started Atkins. Her mobility is greatly decreased by her weight, and her doctor supports her use of Atkins, but when she reported leg weakness to him, he wanted her to stop. When she increased her carbs, the weakness abated, but I wondered if anyone out there has experience with MS, or with muscle weakness.
Her weight is a serious health issue for her, and we all (her family) believe that Atkins is the best way for her to do it as we all LC as a way of life.
Atkins does say to increase carb intake - but he is specifically refering to ascent weakness, which is not quite the case here.
Any feedback, or any suggestions of where to look for more information?
Thanks!!!
