RRMS blah blah blah

[Fuzzman]

My RRMS was unofficially diagnosed when I was a child of 8 years old at Boston's Children Hospital back in the late 70's. I pat myself on the back many times to congratulate myself on being one of the "rare" cases of MS to be diagnosed back in the day....as I laugh to myself. Official diagnosis was September 10th , 2001 by one of the best neuro's on the east coast. Did it make it any better- NOPE but his character & manners when dealing with patients is a cut above anything I've ever had. He is down to earth and at times just a man like myself. I thank the Universe for him in my life. At present, I am only having spasms on my left side and they can be painful & a thorn in my side through out the day but at least I'm walking, talking & all systems are good for now. LOL. IF anyone reading this would like to know about a speedy recovery I had with my last major exacerbation let me know. I'll be glad to share the off the wall recovery I experienced with some of my own research. Post recovery I even shocked my neuro with the new MRIs I had done post recovery. It was funny to see the puzzled look on his face. Namaste everyone.

Would love to learn about your speedy recovery methods. Did they help with disabilities that had been there before your exacerbation?

Are you taking any of the MS drugs ? I'm a 37 yr. Veteran , I'm taking Ampyra , I've done all the injectables though out the years and they didn't help me , as I could walk without a cane then and now I need a walker. I would like to hear about your last exacerbation's + your fast track back. Namaste

I take high doses of vitamin D (15,000iu's to 25,000iu's) per week for 4 weeks and I feel like a million bucks. I was on Copaxone but dropped it like a kidney stone.

The only thing that has helped me is steroids. time has not been on my side over the last 5 years. am housebound.

Reiki helps me at times. I have learned many alternative ways to help me back when i could. Laughter and Namaste are great.

[Fuzzman in reply to lightweaving]

gobble high does of vit D3 at 5,000ius per pill. Eat 15,000ius TO 25,000ius per week for 4 weeks. Don't exceed the 4 weeks.

I like the steroids too because they work, however it wears on your bones. I broke a bone in my foot recently from bone lose from steroid use . After 37 years , I guess this doesn't surprise me , now I only do them if it is absolutely necessary.I had a Dr. who prescribed 1000mgs IV solumedrol once a month , along with Avonex .

[Fuzzman in reply to Elle61]

I stay the HELL AWAY from steroids-yuck!

[Elle61 in reply to Fuzzman]

They are good for a major attack , but that is it...

[Fuzzman in reply to Elle61]

I got two treatments back to back and I LOATHE them...for a major attack I can send you what I did.

[lightweaving]
