Short Bio

Since 1969, I was diagnosed with RR MS.      Over 52 years I have endless flareups… Some lasting  2 months.    I have nurtured it with total rest.   By doing so,   I always returned to 100% pre flare up.     Stress and not paying attention to fatigue prompted attack.   At 71,  I  have some permanent numbness and limited strength, bladder problems and major fatigue.   Over 50 years,  I  take no medication.     Refused to take suggested drugs…..side effects.   Doctors exasperated with me.  Finally, found a neurologist that understands and does not press meds.
