Last year, my 68-year-old partner was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease also known as ALS. Speaking and swallowing were two of his challenges. His collapse was swift and catastrophic, and neither the riluzole nor the medical staff did much to aid him. He would not have survived if our primary care physician hadn't given him attentive care and attention, as the hospital center didn't provide any psychological support. His fall was abrupt and catastrophic. His hands and legs gave way to weakness in his arms. This year our family physician suggested using vinehealthcentre. com ALS/MND treatment, which my husband has been receiving for a few months now. I'm delighted to say that the treatment greatly reduced and reversed his symptoms of ALS, he no longer requires a feeding tube, sleeps soundly, works out frequently, and is now very active. In the hopes that it could be useful, I thought I would relate my husband's tale; in the end, you have to do what suits you the best.

Using herbal natural remedy was what got me tested negative to HSV 2 after being diagnosed for years. I have spent so much funds on medications like acyclovir (Zovirax), Famciclovir (Famvir), and Valacyclovir (Valtrex). But it was all a waste of time and my symptoms got worse. To me It is very bad what Big pharma are doing, It’s also crucial to learn as much as you can about your diagnosis. Seek options:( worldrehabilitateclinic. com ).

Sending you prayers, I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 1 month after I turned 45. My grandma is 96 and had it since she was in her 20s. I have been on Copaxone, the first year was daily and now I am on 40 mg, 3 times a week. It made a tremendous difference for me. Although the fatigue is what really gets to me. When I do too much, I do start to feel weak. My MS got significantly worse and unbearable I decided to quit my meds due to side effects. Our care provider introduced me to Ayurvedic treatment. I had a total decline of all symptoms including vision problems, numbness and others. Sometimes, i totally forget i ever had MS. Visit Natural Herbs Centre web-site naturalherbscentre. com. I am very pleased with this treatment. I eat well, sleep well and exercise regularly. God bless all MS Warriors

My husband was diagnosed of Parkinson's disease 2 years ago, when he was 49. He had a stooped posture, tremors, right arm does not move and also a pulsating feeling in his body. He was placed on Sinemet for 8 months and then Siferol was introduced and replaced the Senemet, during this time span he was also diagnosed with dementia. He started having hallucinations, lost touch with reality. Suspecting it was the medication I took him off the Sifrol (with the doctor’s knowledge) and started him on PD natural herbal formula we ordered from Health Care HERBAL CENTRE, his symptoms totally declined over a 3 weeks use of the Health Care HERBAL Parkinson's disease natural herbal formula. He is now almost 51 and doing very well, the disease is totally reversed! Visit w w w. healthcareherbalcentre .com

I was diagnosed in 1986, before symptoms started. I am a pianist, suddenly unable to open my hands wide enough to get 8 keys. Nobody in my family had MS, nor my grandparents. Last year a cousin younger than me had MS, she is 40. I have primary progressive MS. I do not walk for the last 18 years, I was born in 1952. I have had 6 strokes and 1 heart attack.The Rebif (beta-1a) did very little to help me. The medical team did even less. After roughly five unending years of trauma in the family my MS developed into progressive. There have been many changes in the last 3 to 4 years. Many falls, many fractured bones, and three moves all in five years. I have gone downhill. Considerably. We tried every shot available but nothing was working. There has been little if any progress in finding a reliable treatment for Multiple Sclerosis, My care provider Dr Miller introduced me to Kycuyu Health Clinic & their MS herbal treatment. The treatment is a miracle! I Adhere anyone reading this to try natu

Seems like a great organization
by Desta P. (December 15, 2015)
As a high school student at Fairfield Central High School, I want to get more involved in the community. I feel it is good to start volunteering at a young age because colleges and career opportunities will view you as a good candidate to join them. I encourage my friends to do the same.
by Richard C. (November 22, 2015)
The MSAA is a great place to spend time advocating for such a group that's commonly overlooked. Creating some sort of awareness itself and the question of, "What is Multiple Sclerosis?" was more than enough for me to see that the work of volunteers matter.
by Sebastian A. (July 24, 2015)
This organization is very flexible. Basically, you swim either individually or for a formed team and you swim! That's it! You swim for a goal or for fun, representing your involvement in helping the MS community. Throughout however long you want, you donate and encourage friends and family members to donate too!
by Maple G. (April 16, 2015)

This association is amazing a finding all different ways people can volunteer, and building awareness around MS.

The MS Association of America has to be the most heart wrenching, personal, and incredibly inspiring volunteer organization I have ever encountered.
by Lesley M. (August 12, 2014)
I would tell friends/family about this organization because my dad has MS and it would be great to inform the people around him more about it and it would be great to see them get involved in things that have to do more with MS
by Saudah M. (October 3, 2013)
I never done volunteering but i believe no one should suffer or hurt when others aren't. I've been through a lot in my child hood and i believe no one else should. I think this is a great opportunity for anybody or anyone because it teaches you respect and responsibility.You life shouldn't be a suffer. If your hurt try making some else feel better about themselves because one thing might change someone else life.

I was diagnosed with MS about 4 years ago. I would recommend this organization to a friend or colleague.
by Jordan B. (February 21, 2011)
I am a High School student at The G Star School of Motion Picture & Television School of the Arts and I am looking for volunteer hours for Silver Star students. I love to swim and also am good with people. I feel that your organization will be a great opportunity for me to give back to my community and to those who are in need of support.

My Mother died of this disease shortly after I returned home from Viet Nam in 1970.I am retired and unemployable with back issues but would like to help.
by richard v. (July 5, 2010)
I myself have MS, and as such I am considered "unemployable". I was an "over-the-road" trucker until I was diagnosed with MS in 2000. After that I felt like I had some type of contagious disease. This is due mostly because people don't know or understand MS. Not all MS patients are confined to a wheel chair I feel that people need educated on MS.
by Regina Marie K. from Shoreham, NY (September 6, 2009)
MSAA is a terrific cause and I would recommend it to anyone looking to volunteer.
by Linda S. from Sweet Springs, MO (August 27, 2009)
