MS symptoms are caused by lesions on the brain and spinal column. As of the MRI I had done in September, I have no active lesions and no new ones. Based on that information, one would deduce that my MS is not worsening. However, since late 2008, my symptoms have progressed severely. Why? WHY?!?
There is a virus or bacteria in my system somewhere that is causing me to become weaker and weaker. There is no doubt that I do have MS but something is making my symptoms worsen. I finally found a doctor who is willing to investigate. We did a blood test and a heavy metal test and the results are in.
My heavy metals aren’t off the charts but they are present at levels they shouldn’t be. I start chelation within the next week.
Even more telling is the result of the blood test. They found an active bacteria, IgA C. pneumonia, in my spinal fluid. That means it’s hanging around my brain. Anytime any bacteria is present in the body, the immune system will try to fight it. My wimpy immune system had enough trouble to deal with before this unwelcome intruder set up camp. It could explain the crippling fatigue.
God has opened another door for me. We are treating the bacteria with powerful IV antibiotics starting this week. Once that is done, I will take a compound called glutathione then I get a Meyer’s cocktail of vitamins for dessert. Throughout it all, I’m doing Hyperbaric Oxygen treatments 4 times a week for 10 weeks. This will stimulate healthy stem cell growth and assist in detoxification.
I am counting on this treatment to get me back up and running. If I could get to exercising again, I know I will improve. I know I will improve when my body is cleaner. I’ll keep everyone posted as this new journey progresses.
