Guest guest Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 hi to you both - suggest you wait for the diagnosis of MS then you would get a lot of support from this and other groups good luck/peter/london/ppms ________________________________ To: mscured Sent: Saturday, 17 December 2011, 13:18 Subject: Hi (new member) (Holly) Â Hello, my name is Holly, I joined because a few months ago I met a wonderful man, I fell in love with him and care deeply for him.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Hi Holly (and Rod)I would look into CCSVI treatment which has helped me more than anything else in the 16 years I've had MS.The Best Bet Diet (BBD) also helped a fair bit. Exercise, dietary supplement and stress removal too.When you've looked through the posts here, come back and ask any questions, one of us will answer.Janet To: mscured From: hly62@...

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Hi, Not sure if you can take out some insurance before you get a definitive diagnosis but maybe this might just be possible. You'll get plenty of good advice from the folks on this forum. My wife Sandi, has MS since 2004. There have been difficult times, but we have struggled through. The many changes we made in diet and lifestyle have made a difference but the most significant change was through being treated for CCSVI. However there is still much to do and I know we must persevere. Ask questions and research yourself, each MS case is different, so some things will work for some and others won't. Dont make any rash decisions. It is very much trial and error I'm afraid.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Holly, I had the exact same thing happen to me but @ home and it was my right side. Over about 4 days my right side arm, then chest, then leg and finally skull/face went numb. They did all the tests he's gonna get done. For the first 2 yrs after my MS diagnosis I was relapse free. Three yrs ago my life as I knew it changed forever. After moving back home w/ my folks at age 32 I embarked on a worsening spiral that got so bad I ended up in a scooter and homebound. Despite getting several yearly MRI the md's had no clinical evidence of new or active lesions. Finally after meeting a person who remarked she had been misdiagnosed with MS and actually had Lyme Disease I got new hope. Several of her previous Lyme tests all came back neg. She found a LLMD (lyme literate) who sent her blood to IgeneX labs and it came back positive for lyme disease. I immediately sched. an appt. w/ her llmd and was tested. It also came back pos. for Bb lyme disease. Lyme Disease mimmiks MS in every way. Don't settle for some neurologist and a few test results to say you have MS. He needs to be his own advocate. Lyme can be knocked out if you get properly tested and treated in as little as a month. My Lyme had 5 yrs to get burrowed in my body because I settled for what the tests and some neurologist said. Now I'm fighting to just walk again all because the correct tests and the right lab was not used. All the test that were previously done said MS. He needs to be sure. Find a llmd that uses IgeneX and get tested for Lyme Disease. Anyone in here will tell you that living with MS symptom free is very difficult. Lyme can be cured if caught early enough. Good Luck... -M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Hi Holly & welcome aboard, There is a ton of info out there to pick through and many of us are managing and even curing ourselves without drugs. My advice to you is that there are a couple things you can start right now, today, while you are going through all the info. One is a daily megadose of Vitamin D (you need to take calcium with it). I take 10,000IU in summer and 15,000IU in winter. The other thing is to pick a diet - Best Bet Diet and Swank are the most common but there are other options. Get going on those things right away and he'll already be on the way back. Good luck! Crystal > I want to learn about MS so that I am able to help him in anyway I can.
