So as time went on....

As time went on I had a list of about 30 symptoms to tell the neurologist. I will just tell you a few.
1. clouded vision (I temporarily loss the sight in my right eye)
2. loss of strength in arms and legs...my arms and legs always feel like I just got done working out.
3. painful arms and legs
4. loss of feeling in hands and feet
5. tingling
6.lack of balance & coordination
7. my speech would slur at times
8. hard time thinking or remembering
9 use of the wrong words when I knew darn well I wanted to say something else.
10. and such a fatigue that all I did was want to sleep
Well as of Oct 8 when I had surgery my MS has returned with many of the symptoms above but the worst is the fatigue which is keeping me bound to the bed most of the time. It is taking 3 hours to get ready to leave for a doctor appointment or PT. This is only my season in life it too will pass.
After I received my diagnosis years ago I went to a nutritionist for 9 months. I took a slew of supplements which he advised. I did natural juicing , eliminated all red meats and only consumed fish, vegetables, soybeans,legumes,whole grains and fruits, eggs, nuts, seeds. Wild turkey and venison were recommended and I love it so that was easy.I had already years ago eliminated soda's and had only started drinking coffee when I was 30 so coffee was easy to eliminate. I have never ate sugar prior to this so that was not a problem.
The juicing was done in intervals throughout the day in small quantities. I would drink carrot juice, apple juice and several green juices with a variety of greens in them and actually picked dandelion greens out of the yard and clean and juice them. The greener the better. I would be juicing at the present time but my juicer is a wonderful one but it is 35 years old and difficult with my weak hands to open it. So I am hoping to be able to get myself maybe a Jack Lallane juicer or the Juice Man's which I think would be so much easier.
My supplements consisted of liquid lecithin, olive oil 3x day, flax seed, B12,B6 & B complex, choline and Inositol, acidophiles, calcium & Magnesium, Ox bile a glandular therapy, selenium, Vit A, lots of Vit C and E, alfalfa, Brewers yeast powder, multi minerals.
I ate only organic foods if I could find them. Sprouts tons of dark green leafy salads. I started carrying water in a mason jar everywhere I went. Too bad 26 years ago I did not think to market bottled water.....I stayed away from all saturated fats. I was told to stay away from all stress and anxiety...chuckle...Attacks of MS are often made worse with a trauma or emotional stress or right now in my case ...surgery. Extreme heat worsens conditions. And the extreme cold does not do us well either. These could trigger a flare up or lapse in remission. When an exacerbation begins it is best to take a couple days rest in bed to maybe stop a mild attack. Well my attack right now is proving to me it is not a mild one. As in 2 months I have only left the bed temporarily 14 x.
Lastly for now......the nutritionist had me taking enemas each day. I can not right now remember how often but at times it was more than once a day. I have always been a slender built woman with a flat abdomen (blessed with great genes from Mom & Dad) so I had no idea where I even had anything left to give an enema.....but cleanse the inside of my body I did. I was in such pain and so sick and tired of being sick and tired at that point I would do whatever was told to me. Just to get well. It helped!
So now all I need to do is follow this recipe for health that I have to help me once again.My eating habits are still good, but I need to do the supplements mega dosed again.....and yes possibly the enemas or colonic. I would love to get massages regularly because this indeed stimulates the immune & lymphatic system and the toxins built up in your body will get pushed out faster. How can a person have toxins you might say if they have a healthy eating lifestyle such as I? Well with stress of the world, toxins in the air we breath and the items within the walls of our homes and yes sometimes even our walls..will pollute our bodies and rob us of energies.
