Maybe massage therapy might help as well...I hope you can find something to make you function a bit better...you're so darn young to be afflicted!  |
Thanks for the hug.
I tried PT but I live in a very small town. The one I went to told me "There is nothing I can do for you." I asked him, "Should I start doing squats by holding a large pole of my outdoor BBQ overhang?" He said, "No, MS is like trying to turn on something plugged into an electrical outlet, when it gets no juice it doesn't work." He also said, "You need to go to a big city like San Fransisco, maybe a PT there can help. SF is 4 hours 39 mins away from me. That is awesome about your improvement! I love to hear you have found success! I AM so darn young! That is the frustrating thing. I was an athlete throughout school. High school and college. That is also why it is hard. It is a huge difference and I am young. It is what it is and I'll keep doing what I can do and tell you guys of my progress.
