Short Bio | Diagnosed in 2012 via MRI after complaining of feeling like rocks in shoes for years. PPMS was the diagnosis when I met with an excellent neurologist. I learned that taking multiple supplements was probably not a good idea, as I had been doing so for years while trying to manage the ‘post EBV’ symptoms. I’d been fighting for immune health since 1996. I fell into the arms of John McDougall’s Whole Food Plant Based Diet and that has helped me keep my weight ideal and given me the energy to keep fighting. I take a multi-vitamin daily and 50K iu of Vit.D3 once a week, I take B-12 most days. I still have a sensation of numbness with tingling in my fingers and feet, occasional hard spasms in both feet and legs. I depend on meditation to allow my mind to rest and mindfulness to stay upright and clear headed. I recently learned how to use medical marijuana to round out my care, and it has given me great pain and stress relief. All I need now is a cure! |
