I have MS. I have
had it for about 13 years now . I am 44 years old married with no children
by choice . I go to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester,Minn once a year to
see my Neurologists . Last year there was NO New lesions or any progression
of my MS at all. I feel that Via has been a major part of my
living with MS. I take Via 2 times a Day . I just wanted to share
my story.

=============================
In
July 2002, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. The Neurologist
found that I had MS due to an Optic Neuritis attack.
They call these exacerbations. The first two years after my diagnosis
I only had a couple of exacerbations and they were the Optic Neuritis
in my left eye. Obviously this affects my vision and I have painful
headaches.
A year ago I started having the attacks on the right side of my body,
which affected the movement of my right arm and right leg. Over the
last year the attacks started coming more frequently and from November
2005 to March 2006 I had 3 attacks back to back. After my attack in
November the doctors changed my meds. I had been on Avonex since the
beginning of my diagnoses without any problems, but due to the MS kicking
in gear they changed me to Rebif, which is three times a week and would
keep a more consistent level of the Interferon in my system? per the
doctors. I continued to have attacks, my Liver Enzymes and WBC went
higher and higher with each blood test. In March I had to have another
IV Steroid treatment, more blood tests and the doctors decided that
I needed to start taking a CHEMO treatment once a month for 6 months.
You can imagine ? I was scared to death, so over the next few weeks
all I could do was pray and ask God for a better treatment, another
directi!
on besides CHEMO
.. I continued to feel weak. It was getting more and more difficult to get up
in the morning, take the kids to school, work for 8 hours, go home and take care
of the home responsibilities. I would pretty much walk in the door, drop everything
go to the couch take a 30 minute nap while my husband took care of everything.
My CHEMO treatment wasn?t scheduled until May 4th, which was a blessing from
God because in mid April my co-worker came to me with a brochure
and asked me to take a look at it. She said there was some information about
people with MS and their success with Via. After reading it and looking at the
website my husband and I decided that I only had 3 weeks before the CHEMO and
we had nothing to lose. We ordered the Via and after a week
of taking it I noticed a difference in my energy level and after two weeks I
REALLY noticed a difference in my energy level and was sleeping better. The doctor's
office called me to go get my blood work before the chemo treatment started in
a week. Even though I was feeling incredible, I still wanted to have my blood
work done just to prove to myself that it was not all mental, the Via was actually
working. When the MS Clinic called
me with the results, my Liver Enzymes and WBC were completely back to normal,
my blood work looked wonderful per the Doctor. I told them what I had been taking
and how wonderful I felt, asked if I could cancel the CHEMO treatment. The doctor
said that as good as my blood work looked and if I am feeling that good, canceling
it was not a problem.
The kind of person I am, being so excited about my results and how I felt, I
wanted everyone to try it, so I started giving my bottles of Via to family and
friends to try it, not taking into consideration that I would run out and not
have any for myself. Well, I did run out and was out of Via for a week. I started
dragging and feeling tired again. I was so anxious to get my Via, so I could
feel the way I felt the previous two weeks, I promised myself that I would not
run out of Via again. My shipment came in the next week and I immediately started
taking it again. It didn't take anytime at all before my energy level was back
and I am
feeling incredible.
I've now been back on Via for two weeks. I am able to get up at 5:45 am, get
the kids off to school, work my 8-9 hour day, pick the kids up, drive a hour
home, have plenty of energy to do things around the house and go to bed at 10:00
pm.
Via has been a blessing from GOD for myself, my husband and kids. They now have
their wife and mom back.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!!!!!
