Guest guest Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Hi List, I have a friend who has been chronically ill for a couple of years with a set of symptoms that are similar to MS, but she has not been diagnosed positively with MS. Thus far the docs have not positively diagnosed her condition, nor have they ruled out MS, for awhile they thought she had Bechets disease, (genetic immune disorder) but they just don't seem to be able to nail this disease down. She has been to alot of doctors and had scads of tests over two years time. She has not worked for almost a year. One thing for sure is she has become very sensitive to chemicals and many foods during the past year or so and she has lost alot of weight. She just contacted me and said the latest working theory is that she has had viral encephalitis for several years and the virus is causing all of this. She has gone down hill rapidly in the recent month and is using a walker, she has lesions in her brain, throat, and eyes, peripheral neuropathy that is very painful at times. She is 40 with a four year old child. She has had mri's every six weeks that show worsening brain lesions. She suspects the beginning of this disease is when she moved into a new home in Arizona that had just been sprayed for termites and spiders about two years ago. That is when this whole nightmare started. She left the house about four months ago and at first improved and now has relapsed to the worst she has ever been.Of course all this moving has put her under a great deal of stress. She moved this month to Raleigh, North Carlina where she has relatives to help her. This is my question, would HBOT help her and is there a place near her where she can go for treatment? She has good health insurance and some funds with family willing to help her, but travel is difficult. Thanks for any assistance, she is really losing hope with her rapid decline, and feels the doctors are grasping at straws. Two month ago she was walking two/three miles a day, now she is using a walker and it hurts her to move at all. She has lost all hope. I have been telling her about hyperbarics ever since she confirmed the brain injury, but she never really considered hbot, because none of her doctors did. Now she is desperate, and would do anything. She is always sick with infections through out her body, including chronic eye infections. Suggestions?
