The fundamental elements of my treatment can be found under the following blog titles..
Acupuncture (which includes Self Acupressure) Paleo-Macrobiotic Diet Supplements and DeToxification Congenital, Developmental, Aging, Skeletal, or Toxic M.S.
I have used energy therapies which enhance blood circulation - Acupuncture, Self-Acupressure, Kinesiology, Osteopathy (France) Chiropractic (USA), Physical Therapy, Massage, Swimming. These may enhance cerebrospinal fluid circulation as well, thus maintaining a brain "fluid" equilibrium. I've decided to begin Deep breathing Meditation to overcome my natural tendency to tense up which must hinder fluid circulation in my entire body. I treat myself daily with Self Acupressure and swim if possible - the BEST way to get the fluids flowing (and overcome the depression caused by fluid stagnation.) I try to get a neck/back adjustment at least once a month. ff I can swim I don't need an Acupuncture treatment, otherwise I try to get one treatment a month. If stressed I ask for a brief neck and upper back massage to push the blood down towards the heart. An emotional shock requires IMMEDIATE attention to stop the blood reflux. (A full body massage will enhance blood circulation, but usually the following day EVERBODY feels tired because the massage releases toxins from the muscles - that isn't particular to MS.) Physical therapy 2 or 3 times a week.
