        Multiple sclerosis is one of the most debilitating and discouraging conditions anyone can have. Waking up day after day knowing you are stricken with MS that gradually drags you, a healthy young person, towards chronic illness and maybe a shorter life. Suddenly you no longer expect to enjoy many of life’s greatest experiences.
    You probably remember that day, the day you first heard your doctor speak the words “Multiple Sclerosis.” You may have felt sadness, desperation, even panic knowing full well your life would never be the same again. That time can be almost as difficult for your family and close friends as it is for you.
You are unable to enjoy your favorite things knowing the next attack is just a matter of time. Sometimes the attack’s “remission” leaves you with residual, usually permanent, and scary symptoms. You suffer month after month and find you are losing hope of ever getting better.
    That’s a very sad place for anyone to be. I know. I’ve been seeing patients for over 40 years.
    My name is Dr. Gary M. Levin and I’m a retired M.D. and Surgeon in the U.S. For more than forty years, I took great pride in running my own clinic, as well as teaching and supervising resident doctors at a facility at  Loma Linda Univ School of Medicine. I completely understand  how incredibly scary, painful and discouraging multiple sclerosis symptoms are for millions of people just like you.
    I have felt the pain of so many patients and their families. It is like your body is fighting an all-out war with a dangerous intruder that doesn’t exist. Your doctor may be putting on a brave face, but the truth is many physicians are just as frustrated as you are. They try every known cure, treatment and medically accepted idea — yet NOTHING works because the real symptoms of MS are not treated!
How come a respected M.D. & surgeon dares to talk about a “Natural Treatment”?
    In 1998, I had a heart ailment which required surgical intervention. While recovering in cardiac rehabilitation, I had the unexpected opportunity to work with a colleague who practiced allopathic and alternative medicine. I was very impressed with what I found.
    Having been trained in the sciences, I decided to dive deep into this approach, serve a two-year preceptorship and test natural remedies and alternative treatments for diseases.
    It was here that I discovered powerful breakthroughs that would have profound impacts for Multiple Sclerosis patients. Here was the highly effective KEY to slowing deterioration, preventing attacks, and promoting regeneration.
    The access that the public has to study archives and the ability to learn, understand and draw conclusions out of them is VERY limited (mainly because of the medical talk) not to mention getting updated with new ones and to know how to distinguish them. I can tell you there’s a lot of misinformation out there, which is the reason I use and teach ONLY TESTED and PROVEN methods based on serious, long term CLINICAL studies that I was able to verify  myself.  I wouldn’t risk doing anything else.
The patients I worked with in my clinic were real people, not experiments. Moreover, I was responsible for teaching and supervising the resident doctors at a facility at Loma Linda Univ School of Medicine, so naturally it was essential for all my claims to have rock-solid proof to back them up.
    The Symptom Elimination process is carried out through a simple step-by-step method that rehabilitates your immune system and boosts your supporting body systems to rid it of all symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis PLUS re-energizes and purifies your body for maximum health. 
To make a long story short – I have a scientifically proven method for TOTALLY reversing MS!
    It is all natural which means it cannot be registered as a patent thus it cannot be marketed using the regular channels (drug industry-pharmacies etc.).
 So, I am giving you the result of my own research, trial and error in one handy place with step-by-step instructions to help you reverse your MS.
Don’t believe it can be true?
 Watch this TED Talk from Dr. Terry Wahls, a doctor and an ex-MS sufferer who was in a wheelchair when she started implementing some food-related strategies and now she has fully recovered.
What are the results of my method?  
    Patient after patient left their years of Multiple Sclerosis symptoms behind, saying they are completely symptom-free. Others show a dramatic improvement. Even more exciting, to see how they are getting their old lives back. These FORMER Multiple Sclerosis patients have bright smiles, upbeat energy and even brighter futures — this time without having to worry and stress about the scary symptoms reoccurring because they followed the instructions I gave them. You will see my patients’ Video Stories all over this page. They ARE  actors because I understand people’s feelings and feel uncomfortable asking them to reveal their details in public. but what they say is coming from what REAL people are saying. These people from all over and from many different backgrounds tell — in their own words — exactly how my Treatment System eliminated the symptoms of their Multiple Sclerosis. Rather than resigning themselves to a shortened life of misery and pain, and little to look forward to, my patients now feel younger, have more energy and suddenly feel confident in setting exciting and ambitious goals for a long life.
    Please keep in mind I will NEVER promote a fly-by-night miracle cure. I am a medical doctor with a lifetime of work in a traditional medical practice. I am not about to hang my reputation on magic pills or whatever else you see promoted on the internet these days.

So, What REALLY Causes Multiple Sclerosis?
    When a human baby develops, fatty myelin sheaths build around nerves of the brain and spinal cord. This development is what allows a one year-old to start to walk. As these myelin sheaths grow, a child gains greater mobility, muscular control and mental activity.
Multiple Sclerosis is the deterioration of the myelin sheaths. This happens when the immune system thinks the myelin sheaths are a foreign intruder that must be destroyed. As a result, electrical impulses are slowed or stopped as they travel through the body’s nervous system. The MS patient loses muscular control, loses feeling in nerves and can even suffer cognitive changes. This results in a lot of different symptoms such as constantly feeling aches and pain, numbness, feeling tired and wiped out all the time, double vision, muscle weakness in arms and legs, vertigo, muscle spasms, burning sensation in feet, etc.
Well, this may sound unusual, but if you think about it again you will come to the same conclusion as I did: “Multiple Sclerosis is just another symptom of the REAL disease you have”
    So what is the real disease you suffer from?
Well, the simple answer is that you have an overactive immune system disease. Your immune system “freaks out” when it meets your myelin sheaths and attacks them. The fact that you are diagnosed with  MS is just because of the fact that your immune system “freaks out” in a way that creates the MS symptoms. But you’re NOT having a “MS” disease. You are having an overactive or blinded immune system disease!
    What does this mean? This means you should be dealing with the REAL problem: Your “overactive immune system” is the problem we need to deal with.  Taking drugs to kill the symptoms may temporarily help but they are NOT the real solution.
    I used to give my patients Copaxone (glatiramer acetate), interferon beta-1a/1b injections, courses of steroids and more but they offered no REAL help. They may have eased the symptoms for a while but this is not the real solution and nobody claims it is.
    The sad truth is that the strong toxic effect of all these drugs gradually poisons the whole body, which at the end of the day, only makes Multiple Sclerosis attacks and permanent damage worse!
     So , how can we heal an overactive immune system?
   In my step-by-step Treatment System, you’ll learn how my Directed Nutrition™ method plus a special vitamin regimen will significantly reduce your symptoms and eventually completely rid you of your current condition.
    It shouldn’t be any surprise to people that directed nutrition and simple plants and vitamins can be the basis for powerful cures. Contrary to popular belief, even prescription drugs aren’t wholly manufactured from synthetics.
    A lot of regular medications are based on medical herbs and combinations of extracted foods we eat everyday (I know of more then a 100) like the diuretic medications “Theobromine” & “Theophylline” that are made from cacao or the capillary fragility medications “Hesperidin” & “Rutin” that are made from a combination of citrus species and the famous medication ��Codeine” (for general pain, cough and diarrhea relief) that is made from papaver and the list goes on and on… so there is no real reason that using my method will not do a great job healing you from your MS.
I followed this basic principle of pharmacology to find life-giving plants and herbs that could be the basis for reversing Multiple Sclerosis. This would not only give patients comfort and new hope, but give their bodies a way to build strength and coordination and promote a far stronger immune system.
How long will it take to get back to a normal life again?
     It depends. The treatment protocol is built on layers of strategies for creating the healing process in your body. Each layer is aimed at one angle of the disease and since not everyone’s body is made the same and MS is a disease caused by several factors, some people respond quickly to the first strategies and some to the later ones. Therefore, it may take a few short weeks to several months to see major improvement.
  What type of Multiple Sclerosis do you have?
    MY method treats ALL types including: “Benign” MS, clinically isolated syndrome (CIS), galloping MS, Schilder’s Disease and Neuromyelitis optica (Devic’s Syndrome).  
Can I promise this method will cure your Multiple Sclerosis 100%?
    Of course not. Nothing in life is 100% guaranteed. I KNOW my findings will help a lot of Multiple Sclerosis sufferers but I still cannot claim a 100% success rate. Why?     In spite of the fact that natural medicine has a huge success rate as a whole and can solve problems that some conventional medicine cannot, it is not an exact science by medical definition.
    Natural and alternative medicine works on the WHOLE body. It deals with “system healing” — not specific disease healing, which is why you can never find one exact formula fit to heal each and every person.
    You have to understand that every human being has a different body, different blood type, different blood flow and different metabolism. Because each and every one of us eats different foods, we have different rates of digestion. Even our souls and spirits are different. All these variables influence the way the systems in our body work so the way we react to alternative methods cannot be predicted with the same accuracy as with conventional medicine.     This is why alternative methods cannot be proven and tested at the same EXACT level as conventional treatments are tested.
    This is true for each and EVERY alternative treatment on earth.
BUT…
    When you find an alternative method that actually helps you, it will work better than any other conventional treatment.
Why?
    You have to understand that we are not made of a combination of separate chemical “dots.” We are made out of a variety of different organic living systems that work in a marvelous synergy and that’s exactly what my methods are aimed at. We heal systems and don’t just try to silence symptoms by taking drugs to make chemical changes in the specific “dots” that trigger the symptoms. Since they deal with systems, side effects can occur when you change something in a complex system.
     If someone led you to believe that side effects are “just side effects,” please note that they KILL more than 106,000 people in the US alone every year. Not to mention the 2 million that get sick enough to be forced to go to the hospital every year (RE1, RE2) (9% have been seriously harmed plus 54% need intervention (RE3)in the US alone every year.)  Then there are all the people who just feel bad as a result of taking drugs but whose new symptoms are never identified or  recorded.
  Let’s look at the figures another way.
What is more likely – that you would die in a traffic accident or as the result of a visit to your doctor?
    This would be funny if it wasn’t true. The  correct answer is visiting your doctor! Traffic accidents cause 43,354 deaths every year in the US (RE4) as opposed to 106,000 that die from ADRs (adverse drug reaction) every year. (RE1, RE2)
Hard to believe? That’s right, I myself can’t comprehend it but numbers don’t lie. Today ADRs are the third leading cause of death!
The danger of passive smoking or illegal drugs is frequently aired in heath campaigns and outraged newspaper editorials, but ADRs – which exact a far greater toll of misery – very rarely trigger the same level of indignation.
    If you were to ask most doctors about ADRs, they would give you one of the answers I used to give: The risks of any one person having a problem is pretty small or if a medication doesn’t have any side effect, it’s almost certainly not effective. Some would even say that thanks to a system of proper scientific trials and regulations, modern medicine by and large successfully balances the risks of drugs against undoubted benefits they offer.
    since I (and all my colleagues) were trained by the pharmaceutical model, I truly believed in it, despite the fact I just felt that most of my skills come from juggling a range of drugs for a particular problem so the patients suffer the fewest side effects, or knowing which drugs best alleviate the ADRs caused by the first drug…
With that approach, no wonder some of us, as doctors, feel as frustrated as our patients.
    Just watch commercials on TV for mainstream drugs and you’ll see long, terrifying disclaimers about side effects. There is hardly a drug out there that doesn’t lead to shortness of breath, difficulty swallowing and sometimes death… and that’s just scraping the surface.
    The beauty of  ALL NATURAL treatments is that there are NO Side Effects. You won’t see a side effect disclaimer associated with my MS treatment because it WILL NOT make anyone sick. All Natural means you save money on costly prescription drugs and you avoid harsh side effects, all while receiving improved benefits fighting MS.
Remember this; alternative methods listen to your body and help heal itself from inside. They don’t have side effects because they deal with system healing and they use the original materials the body is built from.
     With that said, I can say with confidence that you can have a future WITHOUT Multiple Sclerosis. A MS-free life is not an impossible dream. It can happen. My patients are living proof and so are the thousands of people who bought my ebook and successfully used this method!
    If you have already met a neurologist (the specialist who typically monitors MS), you should know that they routinely prescribe some very toxic and dangerous medications to MS patients.
These drugs include: 
Prednisone, a steroid hormone that can significantly weaken your immune system and can cause diseases such as osteoporosis and cataracts.
Interferon. The “deceptive” drug because, even though it’s a natural substance, it’s typically given in a dose that shuts down your body’s natural feedback loop. As a result, it tends to do more harm than good.
Fortunately, there are many alternatives to these toxic treatment methods offered by conventional medicine.
    Too good to be true? That’s what a few people who have visited my site have told me. I realize that it sounds a lot like the “get your body in sync with the universe” cures that are all over the Net. But before we throw the baby out with the bath water, please realize that there is a grain of truth here. Many chronic conditions can be cured or greatly improved with correct nutrition (which can VARY tremendously from one person to the next.)
     As I said a lot of regular medications are based on medical herbs and combinations of extracted foods we eat everyday (I know of more then a 100) like the diuretic medications “Theobromine” & “Theophylline” that are made from cacao or the capillary fragility medications “Hesperidin” & “Rutin” that are made from a combination of citrus species and the famous medication “Codeine” (for general pain, cough and diarrhea relief) that is made from papaver and the list goes on and on… so there is no real reason that using my method will not do a great job healing you from your MS.
    It’s not as simple as adding carrots and berries to your diet. I use a step-by-step Treatment System that is based on a deep knowledge of the human body, my years of experience & the thousands of clinical studies I have reviewed. Although I’ve retired and closed my clinic, my method for treating and eliminating the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis will go on just as strong as ever. I no longer meet with patients personally, but I am determined to continue to enable Multiple Sclerosis patients all over the world to play a successful, proactive role in their own MS treatment and symptom elimination by guiding them in the proper implementation of the practices that have proven successful time and time again for so many patients.
    So I’ve written down my complete Method for eliminating the Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis in an EASY TO UNDERSTAND E-Book. You will never need to buy anything else from me to make this method work. You can download it and be reading within seconds.
    There is no medical speak in my e-book. I keep it simple and easy-to-grasp just like I’m talking with one of my patients.      You will learn how to pull your body’s chemical processes in line with a simple vitamin regimen and a nutrition method I found that works better than all the multiple sclerosis medicines combined. It’s available everywhere.
    No more worrying about taking pills and/or injections on a daily basis or using other costly chemicals to take your MS away.

So, What REALLY Causes Multiple Sclerosis?
    When a human baby develops, fatty myelin sheaths build around nerves of the brain and spinal cord. This development is what allows a one year-old to start to walk. As these myelin sheaths grow, a child gains greater mobility, muscular control and mental activity.
Multiple Sclerosis is the deterioration of the myelin sheaths. This happens when the immune system thinks the myelin sheaths are a foreign intruder that must be destroyed. As a result, electrical impulses are slowed or stopped as they travel through the body’s nervous system. The MS patient loses muscular control, loses feeling in nerves and can even suffer cognitive changes. This results in a lot of different symptoms such as constantly feeling aches and pain, numbness, feeling tired and wiped out all the time, double vision, muscle weakness in arms and legs, vertigo, muscle spasms, burning sensation in feet, etc.
Well, this may sound unusual, but if you think about it again you will come to the same conclusion as I did: “Multiple Sclerosis is just another symptom of the REAL disease you have”
    So what is the real disease you suffer from?
Well, the simple answer is that you have an overactive immune system disease. Your immune system “freaks out” when it meets your myelin sheaths and attacks them. The fact that you are diagnosed with  MS is just because of the fact that your immune system “freaks out” in a way that creates the MS symptoms. But you’re NOT having a “MS” disease. You are having an overactive or blinded immune system disease!
    What does this mean? This means you should be dealing with the REAL problem: Your “overactive immune system” is the problem we need to deal with.  Taking drugs to kill the symptoms may temporarily help but they are NOT the real solution.
    I used to give my patients Copaxone (glatiramer acetate), interferon beta-1a/1b injections, courses of steroids and more but they offered no REAL help. They may have eased the symptoms for a while but this is not the real solution and nobody claims it is.
    The sad truth is that the strong toxic effect of all these drugs gradually poisons the whole body, which at the end of the day, only makes Multiple Sclerosis attacks and permanent damage worse!
     So , how can we heal an overactive immune system?
   In my step-by-step Treatment System, you’ll learn how my Directed Nutrition™ method plus a special vitamin regimen will significantly reduce your symptoms and eventually completely rid you of your current condition.
    It shouldn’t be any surprise to people that directed nutrition and simple plants and vitamins can be the basis for powerful cures. Contrary to popular belief, even prescription drugs aren’t wholly manufactured from synthetics.
    A lot of regular medications are based on medical herbs and combinations of extracted foods we eat everyday (I know of more then a 100) like the diuretic medications “Theobromine” & “Theophylline” that are made from cacao or the capillary fragility medications “Hesperidin” & “Rutin” that are made from a combination of citrus species and the famous medication “Codeine” (for general pain, cough and diarrhea relief) that is made from papaver and the list goes on and on… so there is no real reason that using my method will not do a great job healing you from your MS.
I followed this basic principle of pharmacology to find life-giving plants and herbs that could be the basis for reversing Multiple Sclerosis. This would not only give patients comfort and new hope, but give their bodies a way to build strength and coordination and promote a far stronger immune system.
How long will it take to get back to a normal life again?
     It depends. The treatment protocol is built on layers of strategies for creating the healing process in your body. Each layer is aimed at one angle of the disease and since not everyone’s body is made the same and MS is a disease caused by several factors, some people respond quickly to the first strategies and some to the later ones. Therefore, it may take a few short weeks to several months to see major improvement.
  What type of Multiple Sclerosis do you have?
    MY method treats ALL types including: “Benign” MS, clinically isolated syndrome (CIS), galloping MS, Schilder’s Disease and Neuromyelitis optica (Devic’s Syndrome).  
Can I promise this method will cure your Multiple Sclerosis 100%?
    Of course not. Nothing in life is 100% guaranteed. I KNOW my findings will help a lot of Multiple Sclerosis sufferers but I still cannot claim a 100% success rate. Why?     In spite of the fact that natural medicine has a huge success rate as a whole and can solve problems that some conventional medicine cannot, it is not an exact science by medical definition.
    Natural and alternative medicine works on the WHOLE body. It deals with “system healing” — not specific disease healing, which is why you can never find one exact formula fit to heal each and every person.
    You have to understand that every human being has a different body, different blood type, different blood flow and different metabolism. Because each and every one of us eats different foods, we have different rates of digestion. Even our souls and spirits are different. All these variables influence the way the systems in our body work so the way we react to alternative methods cannot be predicted with the same accuracy as with conventional medicine.     This is why alternative methods cannot be proven and tested at the same EXACT level as conventional treatments are tested.
    This is true for each and EVERY alternative treatment on earth.
BUT…
    When you find an alternative method that actually helps you, it will work better than any other conventional treatment.
Why?
    You have to understand that we are not made of a combination of separate chemical “dots.” We are made out of a variety of different organic living systems that work in a marvelous synergy and that’s exactly what my methods are aimed at. We heal systems and don’t just try to silence symptoms by taking drugs to make chemical changes in the specific “dots” that trigger the symptoms. Since they deal with systems, side effects can occur when you change something in a complex system.
     If someone led you to believe that side effects are “just side effects,” please note that they KILL more than 106,000 people in the US alone every year. Not to mention the 2 million that get sick enough to be forced to go to the hospital every year (RE1, RE2) (9% have been seriously harmed plus 54% need intervention (RE3)in the US alone every year.)  Then there are all the people who just feel bad as a result of taking drugs but whose new symptoms are never identified or  recorded.
  Let’s look at the figures another way.
What is more likely – that you would die in a traffic accident or as the result of a visit to your doctor?
    This would be funny if it wasn’t true. The  correct answer is visiting your doctor! Traffic accidents cause 43,354 deaths every year in the US (RE4) as opposed to 106,000 that die from ADRs (adverse drug reaction) every year. (RE1, RE2)
Hard to believe? That’s right, I myself can’t comprehend it but numbers don’t lie. Today ADRs are the third leading cause of death!
The danger of passive smoking or illegal drugs is frequently aired in heath campaigns and outraged newspaper editorials, but ADRs – which exact a far greater toll of misery – very rarely trigger the same level of indignation.
    If you were to ask most doctors about ADRs, they would give you one of the answers I used to give: The risks of any one person having a problem is pretty small or if a medication doesn’t have any side effect, it’s almost certainly not effective. Some would even say that thanks to a system of proper scientific trials and regulations, modern medicine by and large successfully balances the risks of drugs against undoubted benefits they offer.
    since I (and all my colleagues) were trained by the pharmaceutical model, I truly believed in it, despite the fact I just felt that most of my skills come from juggling a range of drugs for a particular problem so the patients suffer the fewest side effects, or knowing which drugs best alleviate the ADRs caused by the first drug…
With that approach, no wonder some of us, as doctors, feel as frustrated as our patients.
    Just watch commercials on TV for mainstream drugs and you’ll see long, terrifying disclaimers about side effects. There is hardly a drug out there that doesn’t lead to shortness of breath, difficulty swallowing and sometimes death… and that’s just scraping the surface.
    The beauty of  ALL NATURAL treatments is that there are NO Side Effects. You won’t see a side effect disclaimer associated with my MS treatment because it WILL NOT make anyone sick. All Natural means you save money on costly prescription drugs and you avoid harsh side effects, all while receiving improved benefits fighting MS.
Remember this; alternative methods listen to your body and help heal itself from inside. They don’t have side effects because they deal with system healing and they use the original materials the body is built from.
     With that said, I can say with confidence that you can have a future WITHOUT Multiple Sclerosis. A MS-free life is not an impossible dream. It can happen. My patients are living proof and so are the thousands of people who bought my ebook and successfully used this method!
    If you have already met a neurologist (the specialist who typically monitors MS), you should know that they routinely prescribe some very toxic and dangerous medications to MS patients.
These drugs include: 
Prednisone, a steroid hormone that can significantly weaken your immune system and can cause diseases such as osteoporosis and cataracts.
Interferon. The “deceptive” drug because, even though it’s a natural substance, it’s typically given in a dose that shuts down your body’s natural feedback loop. As a result, it tends to do more harm than good.
Fortunately, there are many alternatives to these toxic treatment methods offered by conventional medicine.
    Too good to be true? That’s what a few people who have visited my site have told me. I realize that it sounds a lot like the “get your body in sync with the universe” cures that are all over the Net. But before we throw the baby out with the bath water, please realize that there is a grain of truth here. Many chronic conditions can be cured or greatly improved with correct nutrition (which can VARY tremendously from one person to the next.)
     As I said a lot of regular medications are based on medical herbs and combinations of extracted foods we eat everyday (I know of more then a 100) like the diuretic medications “Theobromine” & “Theophylline” that are made from cacao or the capillary fragility medications “Hesperidin” & “Rutin” that are made from a combination of citrus species and the famous medication “Codeine” (for general pain, cough and diarrhea relief) that is made from papaver and the list goes on and on… so there is no real reason that using my method will not do a great job healing you from your MS.
    It’s not as simple as adding carrots and berries to your diet. I use a step-by-step Treatment System that is based on a deep knowledge of the human body, my years of experience & the thousands of clinical studies I have reviewed. Although I’ve retired and closed my clinic, my method for treating and eliminating the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis will go on just as strong as ever. I no longer meet with patients personally, but I am determined to continue to enable Multiple Sclerosis patients all over the world to play a successful, proactive role in their own MS treatment and symptom elimination by guiding them in the proper implementation of the practices that have proven successful time and time again for so many patients.
    So I’ve written down my complete Method for eliminating the Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis in an EASY TO UNDERSTAND E-Book. You will never need to buy anything else from me to make this method work. You can download it and be reading within seconds.
    There is no medical speak in my e-book. I keep it simple and easy-to-grasp just like I’m talking with one of my patients.      You will learn how to pull your body’s chemical processes in line with a simple vitamin regimen and a nutrition method I found that works better than all the multiple sclerosis medicines combined. It’s available everywhere.
    No more worrying about taking pills and/or injections on a daily basis or using other costly chemicals to take your MS away.

Audiology Appointment
I went into some detail in my last entry about it, but not too much. So...
Tumblr media
In 2006-2007, I started getting really dizzy and experiencing tinnitus during the day, and had crazy vertigo at night when I was trying to sleep. I went to the doctor who referred me to an ENT. The ENT looked in my ears, talked to me, and diagnosed me with Meniere’s Disease, a disorder of the inner ear. He said the final thing he needed was a hearing test during a vertigo attack, but at the time, the attacks were only at night when no machine or tech was available. He sent me on my merry way.
I went home and researched Meniere’s and while most of it rang true with me, I didn’t feel like I had hearing loss. But he said it was coming, and that scared the living shit out of me, because hands down, I would rather be blind than deaf. Music has such a huge impact on my soul; the thought of losing that was horrifying.
Tumblr media
So eventually the vertigo at night pretty well fades away, but the dizzy spells randomly throughout the day continued, plus started peppering in some daytime vertiginous spells. But I dealt with it, just as I dealt with the migraines or tension headaches almost daily, which I have lived with since I was about 7), the fatigue and body aches all the time, joint pain, and all the other shit I live with. It became my normal. I was used to it, though I didn’t like it, nobody could find anything wrong with my lab tests, so clearly I was fine. *eye roll*
Fast forward about 10 years and my PCP (an Internist and the only one who paid enough attention to my symptoms as opposed to my test results, which were always either fine or borderline, and who has since left practicing in his clinic) told me that he suspected I have Secondary Hypothyroidism, and that he wanted me to see an Endocrinologist.
So I went home and I do what I do - I studied it. It was NOT easy to find information on, let me tell you! But what I could find is that a common diagnostic tool for this condition is a brain MRI. I wondered if having one done ahead of time would be a prudent idea, and I don’t remember if I brought it up and he said to see what they wanted to do, or if I just thought about it a lot. I hate that I can’t remember. Not that it matters.
Well, I never did see an Endocrinologist. Life got in the way and I lived with it. It was in the back of my mind, and occasionally I would make steps toward doing so (usually from a push from Kelly), but I never was able to go.
In the mean time, in July of 2016, my dizzy spells and vertigo took a sudden sharp increase. They went from maybe once or twice every day, but for about 5 seconds each, to every few seconds, lasting a few minutes each. I am quite stubborn and it caught my attention but I held off on seeing a doc. I needed to drink more water, I figured, so I did. And it still happened. Well, I must be eating too much salt. That’s it. It’s just the Meniere’s flaring up. Cut the salt and it still happened. Fuck.
Tumblr media
But it wasn’t until it happened while I was driving (first time) that I freaked out. It happened twice in as many days and I got really scared. Becca made me promise to see Bee (my new PCP) about it. I did, begrudgingly. She asked me about the Meniere’s and what the ENT put me on for it. I looked at her blankly. “Nothing.” She was appalled. I told her I had no idea there WAS anything I could take for it. Shit, I would have asked about it!
She put me on Meclazine (my THIRD antihistamine daily) and wrote me a referral to see an audiologist. The thing is that the Meclazine pretty much brought me back to baseline for me, so I didn’t know if a trip to the audiologist would even be beneficial. I called their office to discuss it and they said if I was asymptomatic, there wasn’t much point in it, and to call back if I felt worse.
I told Bee and she said fine, for now, but get in to see them anyway when you can. Life happened and the next time I was able was in January. Bee made it clear I had to see them before she would do another refill on the Meclazine, which was making me feel somewhat functional. This scare tactic worked. In I went (amazingly, I was able to get in within 3 weeks, which - for a specialist - is shockingly quick).
Tumblr media
We chatted about my symptoms and the audiologist did several hearing and ear-pressure tests. After that portion of the appointment, she said that while it isn’t her place to make or disprove the diagnosis, she truly doesn’t feel that I have Meniere’s. 
Tumblr media
She also said (to my great relief) that my hearing was really good (averaging 98%!). 
Tumblr media
Then she took me to a darkened room with an adjustable exam table. She had me sit on the table with my legs hanging over, looking at this long, thin LED light bar affixed to a stand. Kind of like this set-up, except I was on the exam table. 
Tumblr media
So she put these Virtual reality-looking goggles on my head that have cameras that watch my eyeball movement. I did secretly wonder what my eyes had to do with an audiology appointment, but it turns out there is a fascinating neurological link between the two, in addition to their close physical proximity. 
The goggle cameras watched my eyes while she had me do several tests, all of which required me to hold my head and neck still and use only my eyes (or, for the last four tests, don’t do anything but lay still). First I sat up on the exam table and watched the light bar as a single light scrolled back and forth. It was a red dot and I thought about my cats LOL Then the light jumped around. The bar was then moved vertically and the tests were repeated.
Tumblr media
Then back to horizontal. For the next test, it had multiple dots evenly spaced and scrolling from one side to the other rapidly and I had to try to count them. The number didn’t matter, she said, just my eye movement doing so. Then I was to choose a dot at where it originated and follow it until it disappeared. 
Then she closed the lid on the goggles and had me look straight ahead for 10 seconds, then all the way to the right (I could feel the nystagmus when I did so), then back ahead, then all the way to the left (again, I could feel the nystagmus). She moved my head into several different positions, each time repeating this sequence, then moved my body into several different positions, again repeating the sequence with each. She adjusted the neck part of the table upward and repeated the testing.
Then came the weird part.
I heard an air compressor come on. She explained she would be sticking a tube into each ear, respectively, with cold then warm air. So right cold, left cold, right warm, left warm. Each exposure to the forced air would last 60 seconds and it would induce vertigo. She said the symptoms would resolve in a few seconds. I had to keep my eyes open the whole time (save natural blinking), and in between each test we would play a simple alphabet game to distract me from my vertigo.
In went the tube. The cold air felt so weird! And about 10 seconds in it hit me. I grabbed onto the table to keep from falling off the earth. I could definitely feel the nystagmus. Holy shit. She asked me for girls’ names starting with A, then B, then C, etc. I struggled a bit to concentrate but made it through. We got to M and a tiny light in the goggles turned on for me to look at and focus on to help stop the nystagmus. It was hard to focus on it at first, but it did help. I didn’t have any access to a clock, but it felt like it was about 2-3 minutes before we moved on. My vertigo stopped just in time...
On to the left side for cold air. And same thing, about 10 seconds in, BOOM! Oh shit! Clutching the table. The timer and air go off and she asks me for boys’ names starting with A, B, C... etc. I was more disoriented this time and struggled some, but made it through. This time took me longer to recover. Maybe 3-5 minutes?
Next came warm air in my right side. She said it would invoke the same reaction. The air starts and all 60 seconds go by... without vertigo. I didn’t know if this was a good or a bad thing. The timer went off, she pulled the tube out, and BOOM!!! Oh shit... this was worse than the other two combined! I thought I might throw up. She asked for city names starting with A, B, C... I struggled HARD with this one. I was so disoriented! I got to F and said “France... wait... that’s a country... shit... F... Franklinville. There’s probably a Franklinville somewhere... yeah...” and for G “Georgia. Wait, that’s a country too... and a state... G... I don’t know. I just don’t know.” This one was definitely longer to recover. Well over 5 minutes. I wasn’t completely recovered from it when it was time for the last one.
Thank god it was the last one. Jesus.
Warm air, left ear, and I had no idea if it would act like the cold and be 10 seconds in and zoom, or nothing until pull out and then holyshitzoom, or what. With 10 seconds to spare, my life got flipped turned upside down... I wildly grabbed for the wall with one hand and clutched the table with the other in a desperate attempt to stabilize myself. This time she had me count up by threes. “Oh dang it, why does it have to be math? I’m... crappy... at m... math...” I managed to slur. I could barely control my brain, and it was frightening. I heard the words coming out of my mouth and knew some numbers were wrong. It was as if there was a disconnect between my mouth and anything else. I repeated a few numbers. She finally had me stop. Thank god. The light came on in the goggles and I could barely focus on it. It almost made me feel worse to see it bouncing around so. It wasn’t, of course, my eyeballs were, but hey.
I felt my limbs go cold and my mouth started watering. My eyes teared up. I was going to vomit. I took a slow breath in to compose myself and quietly asked “If I have to vomit, where do I do so, please?” I could hear in her voice she was startled as she said, “Oh no! They just moved us into this room today and haven’t moved in a trash can or any bins! Eek! Try and hold it and I’ll see if I can find anything! Keep breathing deep like you have been!”
SOMEHOW I managed to not throw up. I’m amazed. But this is why they have you go NPO! My recovery time for the fourth one was substantially longer than the others. It was a much stronger reaction, too. I apologized for taking so long to recover and she told me it was perfectly fine, to take my time, and that she didn’t have anyone else scheduled that day. Again, estimating time, I probably lay there for a good 15-20 mins before feeling like I could turn on my side toward her. I took a chance opening my eyes and it was ok. 
She rolled back a little on her chair to come into my field of vision and discussed the findings with me.
“The good news is that your hearing is great and your ears are doing really well. Your right side is really close to being considered having a weakness, but it’s right on the border.” “Story of my life, doc. It doesn’t matter how bad I feel, I will test either within normal ranges or borderline. Ugh.” I said. “Well, your left ear is over-performing by about that same amount, so that tells us you may have some equilibrium issues since the ears are sending feedback to the brain at different rates, which can throw everything off.” Then she explained the nystagmus. “When I had you look all the way to the right or left, your eyes did something we call beating, a type of nystagmus.” She went on to explain that it was an abnormal reaction, indicating that the issue isn’t in my ears, but... my brain. She hesitated slightly as she said it. 
“I know it’s scary to hear!” she said apologetically. “Eh. Everything is controlled in the brain in one way or another, right? Besides, I’ve thought there was something askew up there for a while now.” I replied, keeping cool for her benefit. “That’s a good way to look at it!” she said; I could hear relief in her voice. “So we refer to it as a central processing issue. Basically, up in the brain. You need to get to a neurologist. I wish I knew more about it to tell you, but you do need to get referred to a neurologist. What’s interesting about this is that the patients who have this also tend to have a history of migraines.”
I’ve had those since I was 7. Huh.
She showed me a video of my eyes during the testing. Cool! I asked her for a copy of that video emailed to me. She said she will do so. She also said that it’ll take her a week or so to complete her report and send it to my PCP, but when it comes through, to see a neurologist. We talked about available neuro docs in the area.
By this time, my head was pounding (it started hurting at the first air test and progressed) and I took some Tylenol. I probably stayed in there with her for another 5-10 minutes chatting before she asked if I was OK to try standing. I said I was, and we carefully stood me up from the exam table. She walked me to the front door and I thanked her again and headed out. 
When I got to the parking lot and sat in my car, I allowed the shock to hit me.
“I have a problem in my fucking BRAIN....” I mused aloud, astonished. A million questions flooded my consciousness immediately, and I refused to allow myself to acknowledge or answer a single one of them. First things first... call Chris. 
He was asleep and I woke him. I chose not to tell him everything now; he would have bad dreams while I was on the road. I’d wait. Instead I asked him what to bring home for dinner. I then went shopping and got lunch and dinner and headed home. 
After eating, I allowed myself to think a little bit about what happened. It was time for copious amounts of research when I got home.
I got home and sunk onto the couch. Chris and I then talked about all that happened as he prepared dinner. I could tell he was startled but being cautious about letting himself react. 
Then he made a joke about it really actually being all in my head and we laughed. I love that he knows how to make me laugh when I need it the most. I have a feeling I’m going to need that in the coming days going through all of this.

I woke up this morning with a pulse of 125.  This is an uncomfortable anomaly.  This is the steroids saying “Good Morning”.
Two nights in the last week, Thommy and I have sat in bed, with the Omron 7 Series Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor between us, and stared at the reading – “78/45, Pulse 52” – and we played one of our favorite games: ‘911 or nah?’
We play this game often.  We’re getting better all the time.  About a week before I was diagnosed with POTS, I passed out in the shower.  This was my first tip-off that something was probably seriously wrong.  After 15 minutes of “discussion”, it was decided I would go to work anyway.  (READ: After lots of exasperated threatening and ultimatums, *I* did what I always do, which is to just do what *I* want to do, because moving forward no matter what was the only way I knew to keep propelling my life forward, knowing deep down that as soon as I gave in to some of these things, I would have to give up everything.)
Then, about a week later it happened again.  Ok, this time I’ll go, I said.  But no 911, we can drive, ok?
But first I need to shave my legs.
I can’t imagine one person reading this, save Thommy, will understand this AT ALL.  But I’ve been to the ER so many times, that I knew if they admitted me, it might be days before I could shave, and the only thing worse than those hospital gowns and socks, is feeling your own prickly, sharp legs hitting each other while you shift endlessly trying to find a comfortable position.  You’re in so much pain.  You are so helpless and there are times when you barely feel human; having the continually growing hair poking me reminds me, in those moments, that I am at once alive but unable to do anything with, or about, that aliveness.  It’s a bizarre mile-marker, and I don’t expect anyone to understand, but unless I am bleeding out on the floor from a severed artery, Thommy knows that I’m going to ask for time to shave and then brush my teeth.  If you can’t be stubborn in the face of ER visits (which have brought literally life-changing diagnoses for me, no less than 3 times) than you aren’t going to be able to handle life when you leave.
And furthermore, I knew, because us hospital-dwellers know this, that if something was wrong with my heart, there was a good possibly my body might start to swell; and if you are a patient prone to swelling, doctors check your ankles to monitor this swelling.  I can withstand any number of awkward, uncomfortable, humiliating, pride-diminishing moments at the hospital – but I draw the line at having to suffer my own stubbly legs, and the unconscious and uncontrollable flinch that will occur every time a doctor, nurse, or aide (or loving husband looking to provide reassurance) tries to touch my unshaven calf. No.  I’m not doing it.
It’s a secret language I’m speaking, I suppose, with no currently available interpreter.  I accept that this seems preposterous and unimportant to most anyone reading.
So anyway, I shaved.  And we went.  And I was diagnosed with POTS.  And I couldn’t stand up without blacking out.  Fuck, sometimes it even happened sitting down.  And so I went out on a short-term disability, which led to a long-term one, which led to a permanent one.  That was the last time I would work.  I haven’t worked since 2015.  And I am losing my mind.
Tumblr media
Literally.  This is not just a meme.  This is not temporary.  This is my everyday reality.
  In the past 12 months, I have endured the electrifying anxiety that comes from researching, deciding-on, starting (and then ultimately stopping) three MS medications.  THREE.  In one year.  First, I tried a monthly infusion called Tysabri, but then quickly developed something called the John Cunningham Virus (JCV).  In people with suppressed immune systems, this can (and does) lead to something called Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy, or PML.  People can (and do) die from this.  So MS patients receiving Tysabri are monitored every 3 months or so for their levels; it usually takes about two YEARS of monthly infusions before patients become JCV positive.  I became wildly infected (like, an exaggerated titre level, laughable, almost), after only two infusions.  After all the trepidation and suspension of “worst-case-scenario” imaginings, my body only lasted two months.
FUCK.
Tumblr media
Then, despite my strong hesitation and vocalized resistance, my local MS neurologist switched me to Aubagio which is a pill you take daily.  Since I don’t have a large intestine, and food, liquids and pills all fly out of me at warp-speed (you’re welcome), causing any number of malabsorption issues, I didn’t think this was a good idea.  Plus it can cause nausea, headaches, cramps, diarrhea, vomiting… if those sound familiar to you it may be because you’ve heard me complain on a fairly regular basis of having all of those symptoms anyway.  It also causes your hair to fall out.
But OK, at this point, I felt like the MS was winning, so I agreed to start it.  I made an appointment at my salon and cut off most of my hair thinking I could game the system. There – take that vanity.  Let’s do this. (I cried when I got home, and then again the next day.)
The month I was on Aubagio was a nightmare hellscape.  Imagine a 24 hour flu that also causes you to suffer periodic amnesia and not know what day, time or month it is.  I wouldn’t leave my bed for 3-4 day stretches.  If the hair had miraculously stopped growing on my legs, I don’t know that I would have showered that entire month.  I have Cottenelle wet wipes, I thought. I have dry shampoo!  Fuck standing, just leave me to here to waste away.  Then all of a sudden, as I tried in vain to find a comfortable resting position, one leg would hit the other and I would snap back to reality, cringe at the unbearableness of my own body, and shower.  Then I would, quite literally, collapse back into bed for 3-4 more days.
By the time we got to Duke and my new neurologist, about 35 days after starting Aubagio, I was ready to give up on everything and just ask for my name to be placed on some kind of Stem Cell Transplant waiting list, or start chemo, or do whatever he wanted me to do as long as it didn’t involve swallowing one more pill.  When he said I could quit Aubagio, it felt like a stay of execution.  I left this appointment with a “pick your poison” bouquet of stat sheets on 3 different infusions I could try.  All, obviously, with very serious side effects, including Jackpot Winners like kidney failure, hepatitis, cirrhosis, thyroid disease, melanoma and breast cancer.
I choose the one more likely to cause breast cancer.
I did a detox to rid myself of the Aubagio and that was even worse than the previous month.  Despite the bottom rising up to meet me, I experienced one of the rarest things I had in 2 years: a night of energy, joy and no pain.  Thommy and I went to a lighthouse on Oak Island, and to Caswell Beach. It was everything:
Tumblr media
And finally, on August 14th, we started the journey of Ocrevus and Infusion #1.  We left the house at 6:30 am, and got back home around 9pm.  The 100mg of IV Bendadryl, plus the allergic reaction, have made the details of the day just a sketch; another day in this nightmare that I wish I could say started in 2009 with my MS diagnosis.  But really, it started when I was maybe 2 months old when I first started displaying symptoms of Hirschprung Disease.  So I can safely say this is all I know and nothing I ever hoped for, obviously; it is barely something I can still imagine is happening, even as it’s happening.  I don’t want it anymore.  And the crazy part is – I was the lucky one that day.  The hours passed by in blinks, and even though I was the one who had to get stuck 3 times as they tried to find a spot for the IV, and even though it was me pumped full of steroids and a bag with a toxic sticker on it, Thommy was the one that sat in a bullshit-excuse of a chair for that ENTIRE time.  No drugs.  No warm blanket.  Fuck it babe, I don’t want it for your anymore either.
But more than all of that lately, I can’t stop thinking of the rapidly expanding schism between me and every person I know and love.  This is obviously, obviously, not their fault nor their problem.  What it is, what it’s always been, is this race that I’m running to try to keep up with LIFE (my life, their lives, our lives) while existing almost entirely in an isolated dimension of a life suspended.  There is no mooring to tie myself to, nothing to define myself other than symptoms, disease management, medications, side-effects…
How do you speak that language and still talk to people.  If it wasn’t something I was actively experiencing every minute, of every day, I’m sure there would be a way, because  I’m constantly screaming to myself, “YOU ARE MORE THAN YOUR DISEASE(S).”
Well, I know that.  Truly, I do.  But that’s also kind of a lie I like to tell myself.  Because at any given moment, whether I’m sitting in a cloud of confusion that makes my brain feel like it’s on fire as it tries to decipher what the person I’m talking to is saying to me, or whether I’m focusing on various focal points to keep myself oriented as I stand so that the vertigo doesn’t overcome me, or stuffing down the near-constant sensation of dry-heaving so that I don’t throw up in public, or willing myself, literally conjuring all the cells in my body to communicate with each other so that I can stand for 5 minutes while I talk to someone I’ve stumbled across in public, I am actually these diseases.  It vibrates through my body like a tuning-fork and it never, ever stops.  It is a body electric, and it never shuts off.
Despite what people may see when they look at me, I do not ever feel like a body of blood and muscle and bone.  Nothing in me pumps, flexes or supports.  I am more Jell-O than I am human (or just plain gelatin, depending on my hydration level).
And so when I talk to people, or when I try, to there is this voice somewhere inside that ricochets as I try to swat it away; it’s constantly asking “could this person you’re speaking to be you… could they live like this?” …
I try to make it stop but it’s constantly growing louder.  Could this person, this physical specimen in front of me, with undoubtedly all their own problems and diseases and anxieties and sorrows and pains, could they lose their job tomorrow and turn into a human shaped heap of Jell-O and still get up everyday to a life shattered down around them? And could they pick up those pieces and build a new life?  Can they even comprehend what you’re wondering?  And when I get to my penultimate question, my heart skips one of its tiny, faint beats: Have they ever had to do it before???
Because in that moment, my brain and my heart, that are always asking and searching, wonder one last thing:
Can they show me how?
***
(Note: as I typed this in a haze of frustration and fear, I’ve been watching MSNBC and it’s coverage of Hurricane Harvey and the potential devastation about to befall parts Texas.  I think back to Katrina and how so many people looking to escape it’s path were evacuated to Houston, which is now staring down the barrel of another gun.  And I think of Yemen (if you don’t know about one of the worst humanitarian crises ever that is decimating that country, you should educate yourself and then do whatever it is you do in the face of such suffering, whether it’s monetary or verbal communication between you and your god).  And I think of Heather Heyer’s family.  And I know, as I’ve always known and always said, that suffering is happening on scales NONE of us reading can understand; just as I can’t understand evacuating my home under the threat of 30 inches of rain to possibly never return, or losing a child to cholera, or having a daughter killed by a Nazi.  I know an untold number of us are forced at least once in our life to lose everything and build it back up anew.  And again I ask, HOW?  I really need to know.)
      Can Anyone Hear This? I woke up this morning with a pulse of 125.  This is an uncomfortable anomaly.  This is the steroids saying "Good Morning".
