Guest guest Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 After thousands of out-of-pocket dollars spent on alternative treatments and trying various diets, with no results, I was progressing. I gave in and got on Rebif several years ago. I've had no problems with it, and it has stopped progression. I'm also on Ampyra, which helps me walk better. I haven't thrown the baby out with the bath water, feeling I should be open to anything that might help. My integrative doctor believes the same. We did some testing and found several of my hormones were out of whack, so now I'm on bioidenticals. It won't be forever because they'll retrain my body to produce them. Taking them is a whole-body approach, like removing my amalgams: treatments may not directly relate to MS, but anything that makes me healthier is a plus. We also did some food testing. I'm okay with dairy, eggs and soy but not gluten. The Paleo diet hasn't helped me. (My GP said, You're probably a different subset from Dr. Wahls.) I'm eating a little of everything, except gluten, and I feel great and look healthy. I stay positive by not looking at MS as something horrible or a war to be won. For me, t's an opportunity for learning. And I've noticed that the happier I feel, the better my body works. Martha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
