I just found this site, lots of great comments/advice. I was diagnosed in 2002 w/ relapsing-remitting MS, have been VERY fortunate - still working and active - occasional episodes of vertigo/migraine/tremors/armpit pain/leg numbness. Now @ 42 - I have the opportunity to be part of the OPERA study (Canada) with the 50/50 chance of getting Rebif OR Ocrelizumab. My neuro. says there is a good chance of keeping things the way they are at this state, but with age and time with no "treatment" he says high chance of a big relapse w/ lasting effects. With this new focus - I realized I have been "blissfully" ignorant and now I am in a bit of a panic. What to do? Anyone with some advice? Also I really like the idea of strict diet change - Wahls or Swank - but am I silly to just keep thinking maybe I am just one of those "lucky ones"...the small percentage that is ok - can it hurt to do the trial? the diet? nothing?
Thanks for listening...cheers from the Great White North!
