Progressive Multiple Sclerosis 

'My name is Helen, back in April 2000 I woke up to find I had pins and needles down the lower part of my body, my first reaction was I had slipped a disc, as I have a history of bad backs. So I booked in to see an Osteopath, I went to her for 2 months and no good outcomes were proven to have occurred within that time frame. She suggested I go see a Neurologist, he sent me off to get a spine MRI. I had to wait 2 weeks to find out my results and even then I had to call him myself. He told me I had a smudge on the base of my spine, he said I could book in for a full MRI or it might just go away! I was very disappointed with his lack of care so I decided not to go back.

I slowly started to get worse especially with the feeling in my legs so I went on the Internet to see if there was anything with my symptoms. With the symptoms I had the only thing that kept coming up was M.S. I didn’t take much notice and I let it go.

Three years later my daughter was listening to the radio one night, back in January 04 she heard about a treatment called Spinal Rehab, which treated spinal cord injury, brain injuries and other conditions including Multiple Sclerosis. She got the number and rang, she was told to go onto the website and read up about it. What she read was exactly the symptoms I had and maybe this treatment could help me.

I made an appointment to see about my condition. I was immediately referred for a full MRI of my brain and entire spinal cord. In addition I was referred for numerous blood tests looking for the potential of underlying infection that may be associated with my condition.

I was devastated when I was diagnosed with progressive MS. I have extensive lesions in my brain and down throughout my spinal cord. In addition, many of the blood tests confirmed the presence of infection. I am overwhelmed but happy that finally somebody has taken the time to listen to me and thoroughly investigate my condition. Even although I have a serious condition I am confident that this will hopefully make a difference!

• I started treatment in the Hbot chamber on the 10^th of Feb. I have had received just on 80-hours of chamber time. The first couple of months I didn’t seem to notice any change in myself but as the hours increased I have noticed many improvements:

• I am feeling less tired, I have more energy and I do not feel mentally as 'cloudy'.

• I am not feeling a dizzy as before and my head feels a lot clearer.

• My balance has improved and I am walking better.

• I have noticed that I no longer experience tingling from my waist down to my knees. Their is also less tingling down my legs, they feel a lot stronger and I am walking more and more distances each day.

• I have less back pain and my back and neck feel a lot more mobile.

• Overall I am very happy with my progress.

I thank my Daughter Rhiannon; and Spinal Rehab for giving my independence back again. '
