Im a 29f, dxed in 2009.
I was an alcoholic, my family is dysfunctional, my mother is now a recovering alcoholic, at the time of dx she had been admitted to the hospital for the DTs..a year later she went to rehab. My father still drinks. My fiance at the time and I were codependant and enabled each other to drink heavily. MS was my wake up call.
I started my treatments in 2009 after my 3rd flare up occured, I remembered my first one being a couple years earlier but had been drinking heavily that night, in hindsight I probably had my first exacerbation in 2006.
I started treatment in 2009 and about 6months later lost my home. My fiance and I moved out and I finally agreed to start on an antidepressant. I eventually left him and moved back home.
My mother was fresh out of recovery and it was not a good place for us to be together, I needed to get out and was still drinking but shooting up too at that point. I live in Ca where it is very expensive and I have no college education but work with my family in our family business which is great because they help with my medical bills. But it also leaves me stuck there.
All my life has been plagued by emotional issues and problems in school with ourbursts and fighting. I was bullied all throughout school and then at home by my 2 almost decade older brothers. I have had relationships but nothing of any value. I managed to hang onto some jobs but nothing that would move me up to where I needed to be to survive.
After I moved home for a short period of time I reacquainted with an old crush and we hit it off amazingly. We both discovered goals and dreams together. I guess now in hindsight I was again foolish in my decisions but I decided to move out with him. After 2 years we talked about having children so we went to my neurologist and decided to get off the medication. I quit smoking and drinking and started weening off the medications. I have been sober and without cigarettes and medications for nearly 6 months now. Too bad he wouldnt stick around. It all got too much for him. Or he was really just an ******* its hard to say.
The psycosis and withdrawals have been very intense for me.
In these past 6 months much much growth has occured for me spiritually, emotionally and phyiscally. I am healthier and living cleaner than I have ever been minus the MS itself. I have been GFCF for a year and eat very healthy organic and as balanced as I possibly can. The stresses are unreal though. I eat real foods 99.9% of the time. Its my obsession.
I have been seeing dietician, wellness doctor, and a chiropractor all of which are giving me contradictory information as my medical doctor. Today I am back home, depressed as hell, off all my medications and trying to heal this thing holistically and thru vitamin supplementation. I have read studies and books online that MS can be healed yet not cured.
Today I dying not only from heartache but from stress because I am broke, still dependant on my parents, single, and depressed as hell. Is there possibly anyone out there who can relate in the slightest? Is anyone trying to heal MS hollistcally and thru faith? Please someone help me. I am getting desperate, I dont want to get back on treatment.
Has anyone tried to heal this dis-ease? Has anyone tried these alternative treatments with any success? I will admit I dont think theyd be posting here if they had. :/
Please someone help. I dont want to be a drain on society if there is a way around this. I know I am hurting from heart ache but the human body is miraculous, why should be born into this life as victims?
