lucky u chicca! Here in Singapore, u have to pay for your own Rebif which will cost you S$2100 for 12 syringes... Very costly and way high for most of us here. Getting a subsidy for this also is like trying to squeeze water out of a rock...

Thanks for the comment Jill, I'll will add these two to the supplements that I'm taking. I'm thinking of taking up the "Best Bet Diet" but it looks too tough for me to follow thru strictly. Maybe just restrict the consumption of some of the 'suspect" foods.

I was reading this book of Nutritional Medicine and it mentioned that Grape-seed extract & CoQ10 are recommended for MS patients. Has anyone tried these before? Would really like to hear some views on this.

Hi Carolsue, Actually I am on Rebif since 25 Jun 2004 on the 44 mg dose. I have just called my doctor and voiced to him my concern again.
