MS Case Study - Although I have suffered MS for 35 years it was not diagnosed until ten years ago when I was 49 years of age.

Initially it was ‘Relapsing Remitting MS’ but following a time of immense stress it became more virulent and I was victim to many of the well known regressive and damaging symptoms.

Constantly to be told – “There is no treatment and there is no cure. Learn to live with it”, was deeply frustrating and made me incredibly angry. My own search for treatment or a cure led me to Aimspro. I am overwhelmed by the treatment to discover some recovery and some restoration of an improved life. My upturn was initially in just feeling so much better and losing the patches of complete exhaustion.

Other things began to correct themselves almost imperceptibly: the pins and needles gradually disappeared from hands and arms, slowly fine movement returned to the fingers, balance improved making walking more stable and driving more confident. My upturn was initially in just feeling so much better and losing the patches of complete exhaustion.

As others began to notice it was obvious that changes were actual and certainly not imagined. Now, able to walk at least one mile, it had been 210 steps before, and feeling strength increasing throughout my body I can allow myself the pleasure of looking for improvements. Although recent high temperatures have been a frightening set back and rendered my body quite limp, the recovery during cooler weather has shown continued improvements.

Although every day activities such as going upstairs, not dropping objects and being able to hold a pen are a wonderful relief, the greatest achievement is in no longer having to witness my own physical demise but instead being able to assist the drug in its restoration of my health.

Since  beginning of Aug 06 to date - 1 weekly injection.

Daily exhaustion has disappeared and only re-appears under too much activity.

Foot drop has improved and so  has walking. Instead of 210 painful   steps can now walk more than one  mile, using stick.

Pain has disappeared from lower  back, right leg and right foot.

Pins and needles completely gone.

Spasms in legs have ceased.

Restored use of hands and fingers - now able to do fine work such as art and needlework.

Overwhelming sense of well being.

Now go swimming and do gentle Pilate's exercise.

Stand for longer than I could before.

Balance somewhat improved.

I need to exercise to assist the physical improvements.

I still cannot do the following :

Get up unaided if I fall.

Kneel without pain and difficulty.

Make sudden quick movements -  e.g. To avoid a car when crossing the road.

Carry or lift heavy weights.

Walk a long distance without a stick.

Stand for a long period of time

Balance still difficult in crowds or standing on a moving vehicle.
