Guest guest Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Russ, I am so sorry that you have had to go through what you are going through. My husband has gone down hill very quickly and I hope that I have the strength that you have shown. I try to help him keep his leg and arm stretched and usable but it is hard. I do what I can for making sure that he eats nutitional food and has a balanced diet (he is also a diabetic on insulin). We do what we need to do to get through each day. Some days are easier and some days are harder. He is still able to do most things for himself but there are things that I have to do for him. Things like cooking (which I don't mind in the least). We have spoken about what our final wishes in life are and how we want our final day's to be. We know what the others wishes are and respect those. My health has become compromised now and we are trying to figure out why but for now we take care of each other to the best of our abilities. I hope that things get better for you and your wife and that a cure for this very horrible illness comes soon.

This is the only reason why people experience different rates of progress. > >This is also why I believe it appears to some people that certain treatments work for only certain people. Its not the treatment having an effect but rather the rate of progression for that persons MS. You don't control MS it controls you. > >And the sense of feeling better will always occur initially because you are digesting something that is completely new to you. > >That's not to say don't bother with healthy eating and herbs and vitamins. On the contrary. I encourage people with MS to do so because when you do get worse you will need your body to be as healthy as possible to fight off 4 common issues with MS as you get worse. > >And that is phenomena UTI's, colds-flus, pressure sores. >To avoid these issues and or prevent them the taking herbs and nutrition will greatly improve your chances of surviving health issues. > >I lost count how many times my wife has had pneumonia which she has had over 25-30 times. It's only the last few years I have manages to slow those issues down to almost nothing by way of HERBS. > >So does she feel better for taking particular HERBS? Yep she sure does. But has it reversed the effects of MS? No at all. > >I have seen people that have very very slow progression of MS and may never get any worse than a walking stick after 40 years of MS. > >This is not a result of taking some special herb or diet. This is a result of MS will progress at its own pace for that individual. > >Once again this is why it " appears " to some people that when they take treatment they feel better and symptoms seem to go away. It's only the MS not yet progressing. > >Which is why I believe when a cure for MS is found it WILL CURE EVERYONE with MS not just selectively work for one person and not another. > >My wife lead a healthy life style and was extremely fit and could run rings around me. she used to ride horses, water polo, tai chi, excercise in general etc... > >I don't have any answers and i can only continue on searching for a cure and any " real " evidence of anyone having reversed the effects of MS. thats yet to happen. > >The only answers i do have is how to care for someone with end stages MS 24/7 which is something most people dont hear about or talk about but beleive me there a lot of people out there with end stage MS that comes after secondary progressive MS. > >And it is these people that have tried all of the diets, and so called cures that yo never hear from again. and are still desperate to find a cure. > >And being brushed of with words like " oh it only works for some people but not others " is a total cop out as i have said before. It makes these people feel like they are being dismissed that they simply just havent tried hard enough or wern't positive enough etc. > >But when you care for someone 24/7 and see it every single day of your life just how hard they tried and kept trying it makes me sick when i hear people so those words and it couldnt be further from the truth. > >in the past when i had to feed my wife half a tea spoon of water at a time that took 4 hours to get her enough water in her for her only to smile thank me that she got to drink water today you will see where i am coming from. > >I brought her back from starvation 19kg/41pound to 53KG/116pounds when everyone else gave up and was ecpected to die back in 1998. > >It may have taken a gruelling 4-5 years but she did it and got through some of the worst things i have ever seen anyone go through in their life. > >going from being unconscious most of the day because when you wake up you can only scream with pain until you fall unconscious to a healthy weight and being awake all day and very healthy is no easy feat. > >So if that's not trying hard enough I don't know what is. >Her MS has not reversed but her health is good as she is not sick anymore. > >Sorry if I have repeated myself here on some things but I don't know who is reading and may find what I have to say useful. > >russ > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
