MPD-Support - Treatments

When you have an MPD, you may feel as though you are losing control of your body. These feelings may be particularly acute when you are first diagnosed. But things are not as bad as they may at first appear - you can help yourself. In order to heal your body, you must start by healing your mind. Try to understand your blood disorder as much as possible, as this will give you strength. You can feel better: as the saying goes, "When there's a will there's a way."

There are many good sources available to help you understand your condition:

Check the internet. Legitimate medical papers by top doctors and the latest research on treatment methods are usually a few clicks away.

Visit the health sections in bookshops or libraries, which can be very informative.

Seek second or third opinions regarding your condition. Often different consultants and hospitals arrive at different diagnoses and suggest alternative treatment plans. You are entitled to be treated by the doctor with whom you are most comfortable.

Listen to all advice objectively and understand what it involves. What effect will it have on your body?

Make the choices that suit you.
