A Dartmouth woman with multiple sclerosis claims she is being denied a check-up with a vein specialist in Nova Scotia after undergoing a controversial treatment in Europe.
The health minister says it shouldn't be a problem for her to see someone, but Karen Clarke said she feels punished by the medical community.
These days the 59-year-old says she has renewed energy, one of the benefits — she credits — of a controversial treatment for MS.
“The numbness is gone out of my feet…I died and went to heaven. It's just fantastic,” she said
