Guest guest Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Hi Everyone, I am concerned about a lot of posts lately that have been somewhat downtrodden. Please, please do not take offense, I know full well that some of have unbearable circumstances. I have had them myself. My point is that we all have a great deal of positive, good things happening with ms. Many of us are making great strides forward living, coping and improving our ms circumstances. There are so many things that we the ms'er can do to help ourself. Larry, a member of the LDN group has suggested listening to some of his mp-3's, that is a marvelous idea to encourage one's self and motivate ourself. There are many other things as well. The point is.....we have to bite the bullet. We have to act. The medical community has published formal studies twice within the past year that indicate that they have been treating ms'ers with the wrong methods and in fact that it is not what they have thought all these years. This news can either be depressing or on the other hand it can be extremely exciting and invigorating. As far as I am concerned it gives more hope than anything to date. It gives credibility to the alternative things that are producing results. Just this past week, I reduced my dose of LDN from 4.5 mg to 3.0 mg and started to take 100 mg. of "Benfotiamine" ( a lipid form of Thiamine or Vit. B1) that is absorbed more efficiently by our bodies. During the last 6 days, my spasms have almost ceased, my leg strength has increased, my balance has improved and I think that I will walk soon, even today. I have not walked in two years. I am so excited I can hardly contain myself. I have made more progress in the last six months that the last 20 years. It surely seems to me that we the ms'er's have without doubt accomplished more with this disease and have more to look forward to than ever before. I know that some of us are in tough shape but life is still going to go on, we must make a way and we are making a way. Those of you that are depressed or severely disabled or discouraged talk to us, we will help you. We can help each other immeasurably.
