Hi
everyone! Long time no talk! I’ve been super busy lately, but I’m finally
getting a chance to update! Recently I’ve been asked a lot about treatment
options. It makes me so sad to see people losing hope. Don’t ever lose hope!
One day there will be an easy cure for all of us, but for now here are a few
options that I know of! :)
The one that I seriously recommend is Calmare Scrambler Therapy. So far there are only eight treatment centers, but the travel is well worth it. I got my treatment in Rutherford, NJ with Dr. Michael Cooney. Dr. Cooney, and everyone that works in his office is extremely caring. The treatment is pain-free, and it works! You can check out his website here: http://calmaretherapynj.com/ You can find other locations here: http://www.calmarett.com/locations.html And lastly check out my dad’s testimonial here: http://youtu.be/bijXl243VGs :) I finished my last treatment in February, and I’m doing well! I still have some tough days, but they’re very limited. I feel so much better than I did.
I know that whenever you first get diagnosed they almost always recommend some kind of intense physical therapy program. This kind of program didn’t work for me, but it does for some people! If you’re interested in trying this kind of program, check out your local hospital, or ask your neurologist about your options! :)
Another option is nerve blocks! I’ve never tried this, but one of our facebook friends, named Jami, has tried many and this is what she has to say about it: “I didn't usually get relief right away, but they did help sometimes. Everyone reacts to them differently and they help some people and not others. If you are experiencing any improvement after the first one, then it's at least a good sign. Also, definitely follow the doctors instructions for after the procedure. I learned that lesson the hard way. Hope you're feeling better.” Thank you so much, Jami! That information was extremely helpful. Again, if you want to try this option talk to your neurologist! :)
I hope this blog has helped you in some way! If there’s anything else you want to know feel free to leave it in the comments, or contact us on facebook and twitter.
