Hello, I am Lisa.  I was diagnosed with MS in 1998, after temporarily losing the vision in my right eye along with several balance issues and weird neurological issues.  After taking one look at my MRI, I had a renown optic neurologist tell me “You better start making your plans now”!    I was scared, mad as hell and basically a hot mess!  I was in my mid thirty’s, newly married and had a job that I loved.  My plans were to finish training for an upcoming adult national figure skating competition and I left his office that day on a mission to prove him wrong.

That was before the days of Dr. Google and I researched night and day to find out what I could do to help my body heal and reduce the symptoms I was experiencing with the goal of minimalizing further damage.  I was put on a course of drug therapy.  Some that I had to inject and other oral drugs.  I HATED needles, but got over that and did what my doctors recommended in addition to making several lifestyle changes that I am excited to share with you. I did have to withdraw from the competition that year, however the following year, I was able to compete and had the best skate of my life!

It was the combination of these lifestyle changes and the medications, that I was eventually in remission for so long that my doctor recommended that I come off of the drugs which I happily did.  I have been living symptom free for over 17 years and have a life beyond my wildest dreams from that day in 1998.  I can’t wait to meet you and help you with your journey!
