My story

On October 21, I was consulted because I had problems with my balance and vision and my right leg, which no longer had any reflexes. After several emergency examinations, I received a call from my doctor 15 minutes later. To tell me that I unfortunately had relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. I had several lesions in my brain, spinal cord and cerebellum. For several weeks, I thought it was the wrong diagnosis and I didn’t have that. I started cortisone treatment, I responded well for a while and after my condition it is extremely deteriorated. So I rushed to the hospital because my symptoms were worse than before. They kept me for almost two weeks. I did another intravenous treatment that didn’t work either. They offered me a plasmapheresis treatment (which consists in making a plasma exchange to remove my anti-corpts that attack my brain)I had a catheter in my neck for nearly 10 days. Fortunately, I responded well to the treatment. My thrust is over, but I still have some after-effects that make it impossible for me to go home, for my safety. So I was transferred from hospital. I was moved to an intensive functional rehabilitation unit. I do physio and occupational therapy to get my life back. Unfortunately, I have to relearn how to walk, how to make my meals and how to relearn my everyday activities. I start a treatment that will be an infusion every 6 months. This treatment is an immunosuppressant. However, it will help me to stabilize my outbreaks.
