From Canada – an MS Patient’s story

Stuart SchlossmanAn MS Patients Story

You wanted a story so here I go. I was diagnosed in 2009 after going to doctor after doctor in my twenties trying to find out why I always felt so crappy and they just kept saying you have bad nerves and most didn’t give me anything for it. Went to a physiologist and it helped a bit but came back again and again. Started drinking quite heavily. Quantity control. Ha ha. I worked on a Nordic track after having my first kid which really worked and then I got pregnant with my second child and gained it all back plus some. I finally convinced my doctor to do a C/T scan.  


They showed it to me and my mother and he said the lesions that were on there were too many to ever count and I had MS. I was told I have had it for decades. So since my twenties is what I assume. Anyway what I found on the CCSVI intrigued me. I looked everywhere on the Internet and Facebook and Utube had the information I needed. So I went to India as it was that or Poland. I asked my doctor what he thought about me going and to which place he thought would be better. I picked India. Got everything set up and I went with my sister. It was an interesting trip.  


Now I have an interview on Utube under my name. They interviewed me right after. K I won’t keep going on and on because it’s a long story.  It’s all on Utube. I can send it to you as long as it is still on there. I was just like my old self after the procedure. I have stents now from it one on each side of my neck. I assume they are still doing their job.  


Drs in Canada aren’t as convinced that it works. Maybe they’re better now. K that’s most of my story other than The heat here kills me. I have Primary Progressive Ms. I am on steroids, bladder medication, anti depressives, Ritalin, and calcium meds. To Help maintain bone loss from steroids. Please give me any help or info that you can please. I Am willing to get a stem cell transplant but only know of one in Ontario.
