Guest guest Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 I was able to trace my first symptoms of MS back to September of 1999, when I was given an ultimatum at the hospital where I had applied for work. They told me to either get an MMR vaccination or we won't hire you, because our tests show you have not had one before. So regrettably I did. An MMR is a measles mumps rubella vaccination and it contains thimerosal which is mercury in the form of a preservative. Mercury is the most toxic non radioactive element and it seems a crime the government puts it in vaccinations, but they have. Prior to this event I was for the most part healthy and athletic with the exception of having asthma. I never had ANY neurological problems prior to the vaccination and was able to ride my bicycle for 60 miles at a time and was pretty much always a member of a gym. Well I became ill that very day in September of 1999, when I was vaccinated and the next couple of days began having dizzy spells which I never experienced before, with numbness in my hands and feet and over the months muscle weakness in my right hand and since then my symptoms have continually progressed. By 2002 I had a major MS attack which landed me in the hospital for 3 days on high dose IV steroids and I was diagnosed with relapsing remitting MS by an MS specialist. Since then I have had 7 hospitalizations for acute MS exacerbations. I went to a doctor who felt I had been poisoned so they did a test to draw out the metals and did a urinalysis as well. I subsequenty took chelating agents a doctor prescribed to me to draw the mercury out of my body because he told me I have mercury poisoning. Overall I am not as bad now as back then, there was some improvement in my overall condition after the chelating agents but my MS is definitely progressing and I cant use my right arm to drive anymore due to the muscle weakness. Another problem I have is I cant seem to stay out of the hospital due to a major attack approximately once a year which lands me out of work for an average of 3 months or longer. Because there are lesions on my brain and I respond to steroids it seems to suggest an autoimmune process is involved, but I think the vaccination in my case was the trigger for the disease. Does anyone else have a similar experience out there? I would love to hear any other similar stories, ideas or thoughts on this topic. Thanking you in advance for your time...
