Primary Regressive Multiple Sclerosis?
A revised diagnosis: On my birthday in 2009, I received a diagnosis and a grim prognosis in one; Primary progressive Multiple Sclerosis. By definition, I was starting badly, and could only expect to get worse.
I'd read Professor George Jelinek's first book 'Taking Control of Multiple Sclerosis', and knew the
drill. Low saturated fat vegan/seafood diet, Vitamin D3 and Omega 3 fish oil supplements, diet and exercise, plus appropriate medication if available. Unfortunately, I was a bad dieter and things did get worse. Along with the wakeup call, I received a copy of Dr Jelinek's new book, 'Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis' (OMS) as a gift. An unknown benefactor made sure that every person at a MS Wellness day received a copy if they wanted one. A kindly ripple on Dr Jelinek's pond. Lifestyle changes don't necessarily come easily. It is only in the last twelve months that I would consider myself a good dieter.
So what has been the result? A year ago I could barely walk. I bought a walking cane, then a cane with a little seat on it, because I couldn't stand up at the counters in shops while I waited to get served. I was looking at wheelchairs, and wondering how I could get a wheelchair friendly vehicle. After a dose of oral steroids and 12 months on the diet I can relate that I have just finished putting a timber roof and lattice on our little outdoor tea house, and finished planting Wisteria and Chinese Star Jasmine all around it. I dug the holes with a crowbar because our soil is like concrete. It was a warm day, but I did everything I planned to do. The walking sticks lie unused in the boot of my car.
So, not only has there been no further progression, I have seen measureable improvements on the OMS protocol. I am slowly starting to feel better overall, and the bonus is that I have never enjoyed my food so much! I know that the greatest benefits accrue after three to five years, so I am optimistic that the best is yet to come. My revised diagnosis is Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis, and this now means that I can add real medication options to the OMS protocol for the first time.
Three cheers to Prof Jelinek for his books and his marvellous website, and for the hope and healing he has brought to people with MS all over the world. In honour of his extraordinary contribution, I would like to propose a new form of MS, previously unknown to medical science: 'Primary Regressive Multiple Sclerosis'. That's the kind that starts out badly (as all MS does) and just gets better...
