[moon]

Hello i am new to this site.
I have been dx since 93 with rr ms. I have had several different neuro. tell me to take a shot that would help "in the long run" well I have but have found them to be so painful that I stoped. I havnt had any treatment for about 7yrs and I concidering it again. I have found out that there is a new pill on the market but not alot of case history to go with it.
My question: is there anyone out there on this pill and what are your veiw points? its called Gilenya
it would be much apperciated

thanks

If you google "John McDougall" and go to his web site there is a video there that explains why you shouldn't take the medications. Watch his video and it will explain about "the Multiple Sclerosis Risk Sharing Scheme" which was a study done in England which showed people taking the drugs did worse than those who didn't take them. Diet is the key to fighting this disease. Dr. Swank has a diet which he has studied for over 50 years which has shown good results in fighting MS. Google his name and he has a web site on line. Check out his diet.
