My Diagnosis, My Story ...
My husband, Mark, was diagnosed almost two years ago in December (2007). He had already progressed to the point of not being able to walk unassisted when we went to an emergency room that couldn't turn us away for not having insurance- which is why he hadn't been to a neurologist as well. He is now in a power chair full time but can move himself to and from bed, toilet, etc.. Our estimation is that Mark has had MS for 5-8 years, considering some of the symptoms that he exhibited years ago are some that he still has now. He was first put on Rebif and after 8 months, we decided that the side effects were debilitating enough that he should stop taking it. He switched to LDN. Yes, this is not a mainstream drug, but he likes it and although I begin to think that he needs maybe Copaxone along with the LDN, he won't consider taking shots again. I am grounded in reality, yet believe in miracles, too. I would love for Mark to have the chance at stem-cell therapy.

Dear Preston, I have Cerebral Palsy and am on the fence about ASCT. I do not have the terrible fear and pain of a degenerative diisease breathing down my neck as you did; I think that makes the leap of faith a little harder for me, if you know what…
