I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 96 right after my 18th birthday. I was pregnant and experienced complete paralysis. I regained my ability to walk and care for myself. It has been a long hard road. I'm glad to see programs like this. The more awareness brought to ms the better. Thank you for sharing this
100% All miserable chronic painful neuromuscular collapse mental psychological emotional skeletal orthopedic spinal diseases have the exact same cause Americanism ... male dominance. The Cure for Americanism is the opposite Female dominance.
This is such a wonderful thing to have the full episode of online for free!!!!! So interesting and so thought-provoking. This is clearly the reason why I will always never stop supporting PBS
that was difficult for me to watch simply because I am going through it currently, but it was inspiring to see all that you have accomplished. Keep going strong in your journey in making this world a better place.
Saw it online with my husband...Very interesting (MS is similar to my rare and progressive neurological condition, Spinocerebellar Ataxia)...One thing that has helped me cope is my effort to move on...I'm not interested in knowing how I got it...I am lucky to have Jason to talk about his MS...
I was diagnosed with PPMS this past July at the age of 50. It's unsettling to not know the rate of progression. Still able to walk but both legs from knees down are stiff and numb. Thank uou for the documentary.
I'm in the same boat , diagnosed at 50 and my leg function is getting worse. I never take a day off from working out as I believe it is keeping it from progressing faster.
Thank you Jason for all you do and as one who also has primary progressive MS these last couple of years I have gone through similar introspective exercises. Thinking about one's condition and actually completing something can be a stretch. Many things get in the way (fatigue, brain fog, constraints of being in a power wheelchair similar to a paraplegic etc.) I am close to 79 years of age this year and I do all I can to help others . I'm impressed with the amount of energy that you have been able to focus. May you continue to be a positive force in the MS community.
I am 71 and have ppms also. Ancestors were from Crete. I was diagnosed @52 just prior to 3 of the worst neck surgeries ever. Never thought about ms because I just didn't have time to be sick. We'd just fight thru the oddball pains and try again the next day until a quack chiropractor almost paralyzed me. Then I got the 1st MRI. The surgeon didn't want to tell me about my ms but he gave in. An ms specialist ok'd the surgery never thinking that it would push my ms into high gear. I've tried most all of the available meds with no slowing it down. The Lemtrada infusions were the only thing that helped but 6 days @ CTCA and $736k, followed by 3 days @ $534k really could bankrupt most people.
Thank-you for the beautiful documentary. I was diagnosed with RRMS in July 2018 at 29 yo. Prior to my Dx, I had symtoms on and off for at least 3.5 years. Last MS attack was in June 2018. No MS attacks since then. I am blessed 🙏
My mom died of complications from MS. Some people thought she was going crazy. Fine one day, not fine the next, then fine again. There is a real physical thing happening to the brain. I am afraid of getting MS myself.
I left from Greece at 35 years old and moved to the Netherlands , almost immediately i felt bad depressed from the weather and darkness, 8 years passed with many neurological issues and low vitamin D , i am in and out the hospital looking for answers
Almost every male on my mother's side of the family has MS. I'm one of the only ones who doesn't have it (yet at least). It's a tough road and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
I suffer from MS and am now in the progressive stage...thank you for sharing your journey. What a lovely person you are, and continue your quest. A positive attitude is everything!
Jason excellent documentary. I started with symptoms in my 20's, now in my 60's. I have many of the "risk " factors such as where I live (NY) all of my life, smoking, first cousin with MS, exposed to toxins etc etc. I decided on an "alternative" medication called low dose naltrexone and I have seen improvement in my Relapsing Remitting MS. Thank you for sharing your journey and educating other. Wishing you the BEST in the future.
@@1life857 It's a REAL medication just used "off label" and at a much lower dose. I decided on it after REAL PEOPLE living with MS described how they were improving on it with virtually no side effects and it's very affordable. Within days after starting it my balance improved and I was less fatigued. Been on it all these years the BEST decision I made for myself. Even my neurologist is surprised how well I am doing. People have to trust their instincts.
@@mr.makedonija2627 not too bad but under ALOT of stress due to my hubby on hospice and other family health issues. I still continue to use LDN and also I am on Vit D supplement as my levels were VERY low. Now they are in the normal range. Thank you for asking.
Wow very interesting. I have disease that’s in the ms family,it only appears in the feet and in some cases the hands. I’m embarrassed to even mention how very painful it is. How about you are in pain God I hope not. You are so positive it honestly made me snap out of my pity party. But we have some similarities that I thought were odd. My ancestors were also Russian, German Jews,Born and raised in sunny Florida still live there, and Vitamin D Deficient and I’m very brown and outside all of the time and I still have to take Rx Vitamin D. In my mind this is we’re our troubles began. You are amazing I hope you continue to do art in some form and film work. God Bless you really are an inspiration
DX aug 2021 at age 47 with 20+ lesions but none in spine thankfully ❤️ I always lacked Vitamin D and am from a darker place in alaska. I believe in the geological theory.
Hi Jason,I also have Ms but mine is secondary progressive. Still all the same kind of symptoms.My first symptoms was drop foot in my twenties.Im now in my fifties.I carry something called the jc virus,I was told 50%of people have it& rest don't.This was because it can have a very bad effect on certain kinds of treatments,worse being death.Im now bad on legs ,can walk a few steps,arms& hands very weak.My memory is very bad & I'm in a lot of pain all of time.Intake so many medications&have lymphodema as a result of slow movement etc.I wish you well in your search & being on here brings us all together.God bless you Jason.xx
I was recently diagnosed with idiopathic poly peripheral neuropathy but I feel like I have MS. I have numbness pricklies from my toes to my knees in both legs and the same from my fingertips to my elbows both sides. I had lumbar back surgery in 2021 and these systems really fired up then even though I have foot cramps severely every night since 2017. My right side is weaker and heavier feeling than my lift side. I’ve been having some issues with my right eye pain and it is constantly is twitching and hurts at the socket, causing my vision to be blurred. I’m just sitting here suffering. Praying for us all.
Does Jason or anyone else know if there is a similar map for Canadians whom are disabled showing public accessibilities like the one shown in this video?
AXS Map is crowdsourced. The ability exists for anyone to rate any location anywhere in the world. Whether those ratings exist depends on users inputting that data.
@RachelJane101 said it perfectly. AXS Map is available all over the world. In fact some of the most data we have gathered has been in Canada. So keep it up!
I had mono in my 20s but without the classical high fever. I think the lack of fever caused the next problem: CFS (Chronic Fatique Syndrome) associated with the EBV, which got into my NS and caused big problems for 20 years. That resolved. Now, 20 years later, I've got leg symptoms again, and now am diagnosed with "Possible MS," having brain and cervical demylenating lesions. I'm sure that the CFS is a post-viral condition, as is long COVID. And MS could well be post-viral.
Informative and a Powerful message of giving back, gratitude, and dealing with adversity. But MS presents in different ways can be or is insidious, elusive, and unpredictable. With all the technology and research, there will be some that will claim cure but for now, I’m Not missing out on my Life and among other things, Just for today, I will take care and be Well, One Day at a time☮️
Its the mother, the family, the stress of being an immigrant outsider, the low level of vitamin D, being a male(ppms is more common in males) and travel thats contributed to his progression i think.
I have RA but before I was dx I had mono shop up in a blood test. Also I had become hyper sensitive to chemicals ex cleaning fluids and hair colour vapours etc
@@1life857my “doctors” are refusing to treat me, because my MRI shows no change since I was diagnosed, yet I experience many symptoms. These “doctors” only care about protecting themselves, not for the patient.
DEAR JASON, I WATCHED THE WHOLE DOCUMENTARY AND I WANTED TO SUGGEST YOU LOOK INTO YOUR DIET. I DIDN'T SEE IT MENTIONED ON IT, NOT ONCE, BUT I TRULY BELIEVE THAT DIET HAS A LOT TO DO WITH MS. I'VE WATCHED COUNTLESS PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH MS THAT FOLLOWED THE CULT OF VEGANISM, WHICH IS IN FACT, VERY DESTRUCTIVE TO YOUR HEALTH! I WISH YOU WELL, YOU ARE BRAVE!
I'm sure he has always eaten healthily anyway. Do you know how many vegan youtubers have cancer? I'm shocked. Some of them ramp up the juicing thinking it will cure cancer...
Did you watch the video at 22:00 onward where they address this? MS existed lonnng before vaccines ever did. There’s no proof they’re connected negatively. They said vaccines can reduce your risk of MS.

Thank you Jason and Nova. Spreading awareness about MS is so important. I am 15+ years into my Ms journey and, like you, am hopeful.

Get a spinal tap, have a microbiologist look at the fluid, you'll see the parasites.
