I took injections of copaxone then rebif for 8 and half years and continued to have relapses and get worse. after much research, I decided to stop the meds and try a more natural therapy. I'm on a specialized diet comparable to Wahls diet and do leg strengthen and balance improving exercises four or five days a week. have not had a relapse in almost five years and am still pretty mobile. I don't have very good strength of stamina and have to stop and rest a couple of times each day. I understand the risk taken being off dmd's, but the continued relapses, side effects and terrible feeling of being over medicated leads me to believe this therapy is best for me. I still struggle with this disease but it seems the fight is more manageable now. and I should add, last week I did start on a medicine called nuvigil to help with ms fatigue and have been very pleased with it so far.
