I am a professor and a trache or thorasic would finish my career. Dr Alba is an expert in this area of both neurology and rehabilitation, being board certified in both. She has had several MS patients although most of her patient load is post polio, myesthania gravis, spinal injury, muscular dystrophy and even AIDS as of late. And in that capacity, I found the finest doctor for this condition. And I shudder.
Miracles can occur with proper treatement.
However the cables, tubes, circuits, portable oxygen tanks, motorized wheelchair battery cables for the machine, and extra replacement plastic pieces make me a wonderment to see in my classroom. However, with modern technology, expert diagnosis and treatment and an array of procedures used for other neurological diseases, I am alive, I thrive and am contributing to this world. My hopes are that the modern medical establishment can and will delve into these techniques and incorporate them into plans of action. May we all thrive in that hope.
