I like George’s site, but I also agree that there isn’t a one formula works for all way of handling this illness. And, from my experience and research, there is no cure for MS, although there are strategies you can use to help yourself.

I was diagnosed with MS in 2000 at which time I had to stop work in the accounting field. I have (had) a type A personality, but just couldn't continue working. Prior to stopping, it was rough. So, I'm not choosing to stay at home, I would love to have the option. As far as strategies to help yourself I go for acupuncture which has helped, but not to the point of knowing day to day whether I'll have the energy and strength to go to work. Diet also does help as does avoiding sugar and processed foods - a hard chore living in America. Working at home is an option, as long as I don't have strict deadline commitments. Building an online presence is challenging, though. I think providing information for this tricky disease is commendable. Thanks. .-= Karen Cioffi´s last blog ..<a href="http://nothingventurednothinggained.org/2009/10/panic-attacks-and-multiple-sclerosis/" rel="nofollow">Panic Attacks and Multiple Sclerosis</a> =-.

However, I do think everyone should have the chance to form their own opinion and I so I have happily "approved" your comment. Hi George

My synthesis of the literature has led me to the perhaps surprising conclusion that it is possible not only to stay well after a diagnosis of MS, but also to recover considerably, even if one has disability. My website www.takingcontrolofmultiplesclerosis.org summarises the available medical literature, and there are now thousands of people choosing to live this ultra-healthy lifestyle that promotes recovery from MS. Be well George Hi Kath
