"Two years ago I was diagnosed with Chronic Progressive MS (Multiple Sclerosis). The Neurologist I saw said there was no known cure, offered me a few words of advice, like don't stress yourself and said she would prescribe a drug for me, that I would have for three days at the hospital, that would help slow the MS process down. I could never accept such a pronouncement and I depleted all my savings with attempts at alternative treatments, such as Homeopathy, Acupuncture, Ayurveda, Chiropractic and many supplements. I now realize I was depressed from that day. MS is a word, not a sentence, but for me the term "Chronic Progressive MS" certainly seemed like a life sentence.

I suffered a common problem of most people with Multiple Sclerosis and that is fatigue, not having the energy to do anything. I couldn't tolerate the hot summers; my internal organs began giving up on me, (I felt like an old person losing control) ---My walking got progressively worse and I began using a stick, my eyesight would bother me at times and the feeling of numbness in my left leg was there most of the time, in fact my left leg never really felt normal.

Today I am no longer depressed, I have lost the look of fatigue, my internal organs are working normally again. "Your mind seems sharper", is the comment from a close friend. This same friend says I seem more willing to engage in things despite my body, and my movement seems faster where at one time it was labored. (I still use a stick) My eyes are brighter, I look happier and smile more now and have excitement in my voice and I have a look of peace and wellness about me.
