Biography

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!
