I stopped all DMT'S. I thought 40 years of poisons was enough. My Neurologist agrees bc I haven't had any active lesionsns in years. Rather die drug free than die bc of dugs!π
My current Neurologist agrees with my previous Neurologist. They both have said that the DMTs are no longer effective for "me". I emphasize "me" because they have been adamant that MS is different for everyone. I am 69 and have shown no progression on my MRI for several years. I am SPMS and my MS has gotten much worse in the last 5 years. But I am saving a ton of money and I have chosen to trust the Team that is taking care of me right now.
Diagnosed at age 47, I am 61 now and I stopped myself because of the side effects from Avonex that were supposed to stop after 6 months I was told and lasted for the like 10 years or so of injecting it and I haven't had any new lesions at all but I do have flare ups due to not keeping my stress level down. π€ I have been Avonex free for about 5 years or so as of 2025!!! π
Resrful sleep? What's that? π₯±
It's all about money with most doctors.
