The chiropractor who tried to diagnose me

The chiropractor who tried to diagnose me

I forget this story because I had a major attack and was diagnosed in a weeks time that the very first people I saw were like quick blips. I was reminded of this story when someone recommended me to see a chiropractor. Understand, this is MY experience and I am not knocking the whole world of chiropractors. I know many people who use them and benefit greatly. I had my major attack Valentine’s Day weekend in 1998. https://multipleexperiences.org/2016/07/15/the-day-i-found-out-i-had-multiple-sclerosis/ I was…

Years ago I participated in a multiple sclerosis activity sponsored at the same physical therapy office I go to now.

Every person in attendance was in a wheelchair. I was only 2-3 years into my disease and couldn’t face that, wouldn’t face that, so I never went back. Instead I…

I was 27 years old when I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. At that time MS had 2 therapy drugs available Avonex and Betaseron.

I’d say 3/4 of the group were in wheelchairs. At the age of 27, who had recovered 95% from her first attack, this was NOT what…

Anyone with a chronic disease can tell you that those 4 little words, “you don’t look sick”, is enough to drive them crazy on the spot.  I’ve written many blogs about symptoms of multiple sclerosis you’d never see. https://multipleexperiences.org/2017/01/23/multiple-sclerosis-serious-symptoms-respitory-issues/ https://multipleexperiences.org/2016/12/04/multiple-sclerosis-silent-symptoms/ https://multipleexperiences.org/2016/11/28/lets-talk-about-sex-and-multiple-sclerosis/ https://multipleexperiences.org/2016/08/05/im-not-tired-im-fatigued/ Multiple Sclerosis, especially in the beginning, can look silent at first. For the first 8-10 years I had barely a limp when I walked. I would fatigue if I walked too much and by too much I mean…

If you’re newly diagnosed with MS chances are you have in the middle of coming off of having some sort of attack or relapse or whatever you want to call it where you got sick and your diagnosis was made to be MS.  At this point is usually shock. And I’m sure you come home from seeing the doctor and go right onto the Internet looking up everything you can possibly look up for MS. But let’s start at the…
