Primary progressive MS: wrong diagnosis or getting better?
In March 2006 I was diagnosed with primary progressive MS. The six months prior to that had seen various issues affecting up to 90% of my body. In April 2006 I was given George’s book and got started 100% with diet and supplements, but it wasn’t until I attended the Gawler Foundation in November 2006 that I commenced addressing the spiritual aspects. I think I am a huge success as a result of the program. I have had NO new MS events since I started Taking Control. I have worked hard. I eat better and am fitter than ever before in my 48 years. I have given up my great passion – dressage riding – as the feeling coming and going in my legs mixed up my signals to my horse and did my head in! I have also made changes to my personal life with family and friends. I also view myself quite differently. My health issues relate to reactions to the initial dose of MS drugs. Methylprednisolone appeared to escalate the MS, and destroyed my thyroid and digestion. These are the things I spend my time battling to get right again. The MS isn’t a problem!
I tell everyone I can about George and his book. I go to meetings of our local MS Support Group. Several wellness programs have supported many MS folk to get with the program and some have also attended the Gawler Foundation or Mana Retreats. The fact that I have put a progressive form of the disease into remission has led people to suggest that the initial diagnosis was wrong. Who knows? MRIs, two lumbar punctures and the opinions of several doctors and neurologists seemed pretty conclusive, but that was until I started getting well. Maybe I am just lucky. A terrible diagnosis gave me huge motivation to try something that made sense. And the results keep me motivated to never sway away to an inferior way of living. All thanks to George, and the support of some very special people in my life.
