Welcome to my blog Living with MS Naturally...

I have been managing my MS naturally (without medications) for the past 24 years. I am not an MD but I do know what it is like to lose the ability to move my body. When I was diagnosed I was paralyzed on my left side. I was 23 years old at the time and newly married. I went through 4 neurologists before I received the diagnosis. I was given IV steroids in the hospital but I was not given the diagnosis until after I had my follow up visit with the neurologist. When I was told I had MS I was given a book, but I was not given much hope or adivce on how to live day to day with this disease. My picture of MS was someone in a wheelchair. I knew that I did not want to suffer with the side effects of medications so I began my search for alternatives. I would like to share with you what I have learned through trial and error so that your road back to health may be a smoother and faster ride. This blog will be a combination of what I have learned about how the body works and what the body needs to heal itself. I am also going to share with you what I have learned in relation to the mind/body connection and how our thinking affects our health. I am constantly in search mode, with an open mind, so please feel free to comment or contact me with whatever you have found helpful in your own journey. Enjoy this moment, enjoy today, and love yourself and those around you!
