But to say diet or anything else caused where your MS is, well that is just wishful thinking.Diane J Standifordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862850657925658079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4399606123599003743.post-32661034318437215132009-12-13T21:07:36.442-06:002009-12-13T21:07:36.442-06:00Webster, SSO, and Enjoying the Ride
Thanks for gi...Webster, SSO, and Enjoying the Ride<br /><br />Thanks for giving your thoughts on this post<br /><br />There is nothing wrong with Thinking Positive. It is what WE must do to live the MS or any other chronic illness. If WE did not think positive we would go downhill quickly living with MS. According to her website, she is seeing a doctor that does not treat MS; she is seeing a doctor that practice osteopathy which is...<br /><br />A system of medicine based on the theory that disturbances in the musculoskeletal system affect other bodily parts, causing many disorders that can be corrected by various manipulative techniques in conjunction with conventional medical, surgical, pharmacological, and other therapeutic procedures.<br /><br />I truly wish her the best of luck. IMO, I think it is too early in the game of her seeing a doctor who practices osteopathy to claim she is beating MS. WE all know the highs and lows of the MS Rollercoaster.Blinders Offhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03109286529955936165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4399606123599003743.post-68144306793431150582009-12-13T15:35:23.013-06:002009-12-13T15:35:23.013-06:00Kate Milliken is a professional video journalist. ...Kate Milliken is a professional video journalist. Her site, www.katescounterpane.com is the most impressive MS patient website that I've ever visited. She really is very good at what she does. I watched the first half of her story and was mesmerized. She seemed like an amazing person with a compelling story. <br /><br />Then I started to see where her story was going. Oh crap, I said. Another person who says you can beat MS if you just try hard enough. Damn. From a person who after 8 years of PPMS is in a wheelchair and still progressing quickly, I am not interested in this type of story. <br /><br />But, good for her. For whatever reason, either her actions or pure luck, she's having a very mild course of MS. I wish her luck. I don't care for her story, but damn, it is very well told.Enjoying the Ridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043136383875458616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4399606123599003743.post-56084282959241799142009-12-13T11:25:21.994-06:002009-12-13T11:25:21.994-06:00I think that maybe she is just in remission stage ...I think that maybe she is just in remission stage now NOT that she no longer has the diesase. You're right, if she doesn't have it, why till take the DAILY shot??? that makes no sense whatsoever. It's good to have a positive outlook on the disease/dealing with your situation, but i agree with you also about publishing this article and maybe giving someone false hope.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01050970928405965804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4399606123599003743.post-29235636478350353272009-12-13T03:06:48.857-06:002009-12-13T03:06:48.857-06:00My thoughts are these: The doctor did NOT say &quo...My thoughts are these: The doctor did NOT say "You no longer have MS." The doctor did NOT tell her to stop taking a disease modifying drug. And the doctor also did not tell her that MS lesions come and go all the time, especially with early RRMS. So, you are right, <i>Marie Claire</i> ended up publishing a sensational article for its readership. Shame on them.Websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13518858062969978457noreply@blogger.com
