Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

Last year, when I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, my world ended. I have heard stories of how autoimmune disorders ruin lives, so I believed that's what would happen to me. Over the past year, I've read more literature, and read some success stories. One story that I've read was a book written by Terry Wahls. I think I'm going Ito follow her guidebook and alter my diet, using paleo principles. I'm going in to see my neurologist tomorrow, to get an ultrasound for my thyroid. In addition to this, I will ask him about low-dose naltrexone, and if chemotherapy would help alleviate my condition. In addition to this, I will ask him if I should start going back to school full-time. I want to study nursing and/or pre-med. I'm tired of not being a taxpayer anymore, and my disability prevents me from working, more or less. I bet a profession of nursing is sort of a happy medium; not much physical activity, just more thinking. I want his opinion on this I'll ask him tomorrow. The profession of nursing I feel is honorable, and would be a good one to be in for a veteran. I think I'll try to become a certified nurse practitioner, eventually. Thank you for letting me borrow your eyes and your brain.

@anitole78 , it does take some time to understand and accept a diagnosis of MS. Your Neuro may not have a view on Low Dosage Naltrexone (LDN) and diet. There is only anecdotal evidence and the medical profession seem to only accept clinical evidence. But, you have to try these things to see if they work for you. Good luck with your career aspirations. Let's hope that your Neuro encourages you. :wink:

Before you jump into a nursing program check it out carefully, some types of nursing can be very physical. There are many other areas in health care that aren't physical. Make sure you investigate the clinical studies that you will be required to do. Moving and lifting patients is usually done by nurses in hospitals and nursing homes. I hope it will work out for you and your dreams. Potter
