Sudden Ending of Symptoms ? Posted: 06-15-07 23:19pm
Hiya all. I was diagnosed with MS about 9
years ago. I've had a slow decline in my
health over the years with occassional
quick drops to it. In the last 2 years I
also developed a hyatal hernia, diabetes,
constant refluxing and possibly Crohns. My
MS symptoms have almost all been VERY
non-classic according to the neuros. Also
I have not been on any MS drugs for over a
year and a half. Ok so much for my health
history.
8 days ago my symptoms started to suddenly
subside. Very dramatically too. For
example I went from needing a 4 point
walker to go more than 100 feet and
barely be able to walk a block and a half
to now being able to walk over a mile and
not need a cane at all. I've noticed my
cognitive abilities returning, my heat
tolerance going up alot, etc etc. I can
say that from what I see in myself, at
least 90% of my symptoms are now gone or
almost gone. Something similar happened to
me in 2000 but I was healthier before it
happened so the change wasn't as dramatic
as it is now. that lasted 2 weeks.
I'm curious if anyone has ever experienced
anything like this? I'm at a loss to
explain it and am suspicious of such
sudden and drastic changes. Also I'm
scared it'll all go away after a couple
weeks like happened in 2000. Any insight
would be appreciated. Thanks

Even though this post is over a year old
Warguppy's description of his symptoms can
be experienced in patients who have MS.
Definition of MS: Unpreditable Disease of
the Central Nervous System...key word
being Unpredictable.
And it does not treat all of its victims
the same way. Sometimes the body has a
way to repair the damage that MS has
caused, even if it is temporary. It could
be diet, environment, etc....
I've been there myself...years ago I
required the use of a cane in order to
walk and after several weeks I was back to
normal and have not had to use it again.
I may never need it, then again maybe I
will. My legs used to give way if I got
hot and once I cooled down I was good to
go. Well I must be doing something right
as for a couple of years I can stay in the
heat with no problem.
