Twelve years ago, a Multiple Sclerosis (MS) diagnosis turned my world upside down. MS is a condition where your immune system mistakenly attacks the nerves in your brain and spine. This often leads to worsening symptoms, from tingling limbs to sometimes losing the ability to walk.
Inflammation took over my body – I couldn't walk straight, my right leg wouldn't listen, and constant pain became my unwanted daily reality. It's a tough battle many are fighting right now.
But I didn't just sit back. My hair started thinning, my skin began suffering, and my gut and hormones went haywire. Yet, I turned it all around.
The Inflammation Epidemic and You
Beyond sharing a survival story – I’m showing you it’s possible to thrive despite MS.
The fight against inflammation isn't just personal; it's a growing concern. After conducting thousands of blood tests over the past year, I found a staggering 92% grappling with autoimmune conditions or on the cusp of them. Inflammation is often the culprit, and it's crucial to understand why your body is reacting this way.
Autoimmunity and Inflammation: Knowing the Difference
My MS, an inflammatory condition, became manageable once I learned to curb the inflammation, regaining control over my symptoms. Distinguishing between autoimmunity and plain inflammation is vital.
Autoimmunity and inflammation often get tangled up, but they're different. Think of autoimmunity as your body's security system getting its wires crossed, attacking its cells as if they were outside threats. Conversely, inflammation is like the red alert response - it's the body's way of signaling a problem, often leading to redness, heat, and swelling.
While autoimmunity can cause inflammation as part of its misguided attack, not all inflammation is due to autoimmunity. Inflammation can crop up from a sprained ankle or an infection, too. So, while they're linked, they're distinctly different players in your body's complex inner workings.
Healing as a Journey, not a Destination
Your diagnosis is irrelevant to inflammation– if your body is inflamed, your immune system retaliates by increasing inflammation. My mission was to reverse this cycle. Even with MS and six herniated discs from a car accident, I defied the odds.
