I do not take meds for MS...too many side effects.
@A MyMSTeam Member - The only med I use is Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN) and I seem to be doing much better than so many on here who are taking the obscenely expensive mainstream MS drugs with all of their awful side -effects! My MS symptoms have pretty mu ch completely abated, and my recent MRIs are UNCHANGED from a year ago! NO NEW LESIONS! Sop my MS is, at least, NOT PROGRESSING! The LDN is CHEAP and ORAL, and had essentially NO SIDE EFFECTS! Good evening over there in Greensboro fro Charlie in Raleigh.
I am taking medicine for MS as it helps stop the progression. I have been getting worse over the last 13-15 yrs. If I had be DX earlier, I could still be working now. If you try the med and they are not working or too many side effect for you personally, then I could see not taking something for MS. But it is up to you, just realize you could be giving up quality of life later.
How are you doing with it @A MyMSTeam Member? I've pretty well beaten my MS with Dr. Jelinek's "Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis" recovery program, that helped me a lot, and LDN, that helped a lot more. My symptoms are almost all gone, and my latest MRIs show NO changes over a year ago - no new lesions and no expanding lesions, ao my condition is hugely improved, and my disease is, at least not progressing. I've seen some evidence that some people with SPMS and PPMS have been helped by LDN and was wondering if you feel that LDN is helping you. My friend Beth (fooscat) in Greenville, SC is SPMS and is thinking of trying LDN and searching for a prescriber. Thanks!
I do not take any meds I was informed that there wasn't any meds that would help progressive MS
