I was D/X with MS in 1999 at 28yrs old, it started with Optic neuritisand leg/back pain, things proceeded to worsen and I ended up totally blind, Paralyzed and on a ventilator.
Within about 3 months my eyesite had increased to being legally blind and has remained this same way; but I can see! I am so thankful!
After learning everthing all over again, I mean everything we take for granitit, talking, eating, using the bathroom, how to dress, tying my shoes; etc, this was in a rehab hospital where I learned also to sit up, propel a , work on balance and strength, walk between Parallel bars. After 10 years I am in a
wheel chair for any long distances, I am a wall walker at home and I take my walker in short distances.
I started this diet in April and I have seen great results thus far.
Bowel, it would take me over 1 hour to go & if time didn't permit I would not go for that day.
Bladder, I still have some urgancy but I have some time, opossed to simply starting to leak the instant I have an urge!
My vision, I am not as sensative to light as in the past, I can see more colors and I don't seem to have as many blind spots.
Energy, WOW!
I still have allot of healing to go; but to know I have a say so is huge, we are talking about a debilitating disease that there is no hope for, I SAY NOT!
I am now hopeful, and I thank God.
So glad you're seeing
So glad you're seeing results. You have a great attitute, I was Dx around the same time, around the same age! Whenever I have a pity party, I look at some of my patients (I'm a nurse) or people I know that have been dx w/ a terminal disease, and I become so grateful that I can get up every day and spend time with my kids! I gues things can always be worse. Anyways I've been on and off 'MS diets' for years, and it's time to get more serious. Thanks for your positive perspective.
