Thank you Carolsue! I think it is extremely important for any and every patient to discuss their experiences with any of the DMD's. I feel as though we are our own best doctor at times. We need to share as much information with each other, because ultimately we are the ones living with this conditio...

To Treat, or not to Treat !?!?

I have a dilemma like many here in this forum. I'm a 30 year old male diagnosed as CIS = Clinically Isolated Syndrome. An expert at the MS Clinic in London Ontario told me that I am at a 50/50 chance of developing MS. My second MRI did not show any new lesions, although one had doubled in size from ...
