Abstract:

Kav Partap Karamthasingh is a 37 year old from Trinidad and Tobago. She has suffered with Multiple Sclerosis since the age of 17. She suffered paralysis, bladder issues, blurred vision, weakness and fatigue. These symptoms plague her life and her condition deteriorated slowly. At the age of 27 she lost her vision and began desperately looking for a treatment. She discovered Stem Cell treatments. This treatment was extremely controversial at the time and expensive but she put all her faith in and hoped for the best. She was the first patient in her country to be treated with Stem Cells for Multiple Sclerosis. She underwent the treatment in May but her condition did not improve until August. After August she regained her bodily functions and has been testing her limits since that day 10 years ago. She continued on her part time career of teaching but evolved into an entrepreneur so that she can support her healthy lifestyle. Kav is the author of Conquering 20, an autobiography that tells her inspirational story of her survival.

Biography :

Kav Partap Karamthasingh is a 36 year old entrepreneur. She has worked as a teacher in the private sector since the age of 20 even though she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at the age of 18. Paralysis on the right side of her body forced her to complete her schooling with the aid of computers for typing. Despite many early setbacks in life she went on to creating the first Multiple Sclerosis blog in the Caribbean – ‘KavsLife.com.’ This was then followed by her book ‘Conquering 20’ which was based on her life story and challenges with multiple sclerosis. She continues to inspire others with autoimmune diseases by maintaining her active social media accounts which shows her overcoming her illness using natural and regenerative therapies. Part of her fitness programme requires her to exercise regularly. She keeps it interesting by incorporating regular hikes with her family.
