I started a feverish search of this site, because so many other sites are all drug (sorry.. prescription) related. Because I believe in a holistic approach, I needed to find people of like mind. I am 55 and we believe my first symptoms occured (if MS is an auto-immune disorder) 30 years ago and 17 years ago with real venom. So I have relapsed and gotten better until three years ago. None of the four nero types I have seen can agree on anything except what I don't have and that my symptoms are odd. My osteopath finally agreed, "if it walks, talks, smells and acts like a duck... it is a duck." So. I guess I am a duck with MS. I have four grown (are they ever) children and a significant other who keeps me in check on those bad emotional days. I am currently seeking a medical provider who is holistic and has LOTS of experience with MS. ... preferably on the east coast. That's me. :P
