She needs to find a functional dr that gets to the root cause. We all do. Our healthcare system and food is our real problem. That is my belief, I’m not speaking for everyone

This poor Woman has faced so many Health Issues. Whatever her Autoimmune Disorder is, most of them are treated with Steroids, Immunesupressants and Biologics.

My brother was almost misdiagnosed with MS, and they found out it was sarcoidosis. Some similar symptoms, but easily misdiagnosed

It's tough when your body is going through symptoms our doctors can't explain our issues because there are so many things can go wrong . It doesn't wipe away the tears nor does it mimic a relief over the symptoms and pain . It took the staff I was seeing almost two and a half years of test to rule out symptoms that pointed towards MS. They finally diagnosed my own personal fight w digenerative disc disease . It's not any better but just as serious but MS has a lot more darker sides to it . Prayers for her new walk again to lead her staff fighting what she has they find out .They will regardless of what they find it can just take along while . I've suffered since I was a teenager and Iam only 15 years postop from my own . Life can suck when your heath declines
