Hey there, goatgal! I'm sorry you're having such a rough time with this MonSter. I'm betting it's pretty cold where you are and that may be part of the issue. It's pretty cold down south of you, too. Somebody on this site recommended a book "Healing Multiple Sclerosis", New Revised Edition, by Ann Boroch, CNC, which I am in the process of reading. It has some pretty interesting claims that MS can be slowed, altered or even cured through diet, detox and nutritional makeover. The author, diagnosed at 18, was severely affected by MS and began studying everything she could get her hands on to find ways to change her condition. She came up with some pretty radical ways to do it, but claims to be totally free of MS now. She backs it up with stories of many others who have been healed or greatly improved. I may try some of her ideas, but I already eat a very good diet for cholesterol issues, and some of these restrictions are rather extreme. Just thought I'd pass this on to you for some interesting "fireside" reading. We've got a lot of winter ahead of us. Hoping for a moderation of these temps soon!
I can't really say it was something I loved about my MS, but it was when I was first diagnosed and attending an appointment with my first neurologist. He'd asked me if I was experiencing any new symptoms. I told him I'd just been experiencing this weird thing: If I dropped my chin to my chest, it'd feel like a tuning fork was being pressed to my tail bone.
He then asked if I found it painful or . . .?
I told him I found it either annoying . . .
Looking down at his clip board, he started to walk away . . .
I continued, " Or downright pleasureable! "
He almost got to the door, but stopped. He then slowly turned back to me and with a sheepish smile said, "Oh, NOW I get it!
I just shrugged and said, "All I know is I'm saving money on batteries!"
And for the first and last time, I got a DOCTOR to laugh!
