Laura is in her mid-40's, was stricken with MS 4 years ago, with no feeling or sensation from the neck down, totally depressed. We know that is a frustrating and debilitating position to be in. As soon as she started the first week of Sept, her left arm started to regain sensation on the third day, her mental attitude and clarity improved as well. After a week, she had full use of her left arm and 50% use of her right arm. She was able to feel her dog lick her toes. She then was able to get a voice activated program for her computer so that she could talk, which would activate to type for her.
After another week, she was able to wiggle her toes and play with the dogs with her toes, she was able to lift her leg a little with some help, and her speech started to improve. A week later, we received an E-Mail from her, it said "I typed this email all by myself" which meant she no longer needed the voice activated program because she had enough use of her entire left arm and hand to type.
As of the end of October, she can type with both hands, she has 100% use of her entire left arm and hands, now has 100% use of her right arm and hands. She can now lift both legs and move them around up in the air, bend and move them around with out any help. She was hoping to start walking within the first month. After the first two weeks, she tried to walk on her own but did not get far. Her husband found her in the middle of the room on the floor, she was laughing, happy that she was able to accomplish what she did, and she knew it was simply a matter of time. She is set to walk on New Years Eve and will dance with her husband, but her father wants the first dance with his daughter.
Her cognitive abilities are restored, memory is actually great now. Her balance is greatly improved. She has no depression at all and her mental outlook is great. The pain she had in her feet and legs are totally gone. Her body is extremely flexible and no longer brittle. Her handwriting has improved dramatically, she can easily use the computer now. She has had no setbacks nor relapses. She has been filming and documenting everything to show the path she has taken and to show the evident improvements as they occurred.
