Successful treatment of Multiple Sclerosis – managing pain and symptoms with coMra therapy

A Journey of Recovery: Managing Multiple Sclerosis with coMra Therapy

Cheryl Tublange, a chef and educator who runs a cookery school for individuals with special needs, shares her transformative experience managing Multiple Sclerosis (MS) through coMra therapy. Diagnosed 21 years ago, Cheryl explains that MS manifests differently depending on which part of the central nervous system is affected. While some individuals experience spinal sheath degradation that impacts mobility, Cheryl’s condition primarily affected her brain. This led to severe, debilitating symptoms, including extreme pain, deafness on her left side, and significant motor impairment.

"I had what they thought was a stroke, and it ended up being Multiple Sclerosis," Cheryl recalls. "The immediate effects were that I was deaf on my left side and I couldn't walk at all. I was wheelchair-bound for a while, then moved to a walking stick."

Finding Relief Through coMra

By 2008, the disease had progressed to a point where Cheryl’s quality of life was severely diminished. She struggled to perform basic daily tasks, could no longer garden, and suffered from chronic fatigue that forced her to sleep most afternoons. When she was first introduced to coMra therapy, she admits she was initially very dubious. However, driven by desperation and a desire to regain her independence, she began her first treatments in September of that year.

The results were life-changing. By January, Cheryl began to notice a significant shift in her physical well-being. "The muscles in the body – which often clench up with MS – were starting to relax," she explains. "I was able to garden, I was able to bend, and I didn't lift up my head and feel like I was falling over."

As her symptoms subsided, her husband noticed that she no longer required her afternoon naps. The chronic fatigue lifted, and she was able to discard her walking stick entirely. While Cheryl notes that the MS itself did not disappear, the debilitating day-to-day symptoms that had previously prevented her from living a full life began to fade.

Sustained Health and Independence

Now, 21 years post-diagnosis, Cheryl’s trajectory has defied medical expectations. "If you had to look at my period of disease, I should by rights now be in primary progressive [MS]," she says. "But of course, I’m nowhere near it. I feel that I’ve actually gotten a little bit better than I was when I was first diagnosed."

The impact of coMra therapy on her medication regimen has been equally profound. When she began treatment, she was taking nine different types of medication to manage her various symptoms. Today, she is down to only two. She has not had to return to the other drugs in the years since she started using coMra.

Today, Cheryl runs a full-time cookery school, remaining on her feet from nine in the morning until six in the evening. She relies on coMra therapy as her primary tool for maintaining her health and managing the occasional flare-ups of life’s common ailments. Whether it is a headache, plantar fasciitis, or sore muscles after a long day, she applies the laser to the affected area, and the relief is immediate.

"Something happens to me, and the very first thing my husband says is, 'Where is the laser? Use the laser,'" Cheryl says. "It has just made life manageable."
