Yup. Who do you think I got 50% of my direction from on how to recover from BFS? Surprise. Not kidding dude. Partially because my entire symptom-set was MS-esque as well. Almost to the "T". I can't quite remember, but that may very well be why I contacted her in the first place. Even my doctors told me I probably had MS.
Remember when I told you that I don't know one person here who is symptom-free and "doesn't know why" ? She was one of the main people I had in mind. She knows exactly what she credits her recovery with. She took some major steps. And I took her advice to heart, and it worked. Chrissy is another who has come a million miles from her worst days, and I believe she is virtually symptom free, if not 100% symptom free at this point. She has the most brilliant advice of anyone on here. She now helps others to recovery. And has had significant success doing so.
What I've noticed overall is that people that improve dramatically do so in the first year or two after symptom onset, you included, but that might be just my impression.
I think that's true. There is definitely an initial worsening, along with a severe period for most, which is followed by a lesser severity. I truly feel that it's what you do during that acute phase, and the months following it, that can play a role in where you end up at the 2-4 year mark.
