This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Hi my name is Jerry and i was diagnosed 8 years ago at age 23.
So far my best medicine has been to not take medicine as i have a problem with needles . The needles stressed me ouy and were causing more attacks. Since i quit taking medicine (which was rebif at the time) i have not had any major attacks. I am recently starting to expirence symtoms again, or what might be symtoms im not fully sure yet , so i thought id look into some others opinions.

hi jerry welcome to TIMS
i used to be phobic of needles and it was a biggish part of why i turned down the drugs.
another part was reading about how the drugs are suspected to work (if they have any idea at all) and how those link to replacing natural body symptoms.
i had a strong suspicion that my diagnosis was linked to my lifestyle of the previous 15 years, having had documented prior b12 deficiency (supposedly a differential dx for MS, but my doc's computer had a glitch and they said i had not been deficient - little did they know)
anyway i spent a lot of time researching nutrition and ms and although i think some sufferers do not have nutritional issues as the main etiology, i think i did.
so, i use nutritional strategies to manage ms and it works for me. if you want to know more just say so. my signature links provide some resources and information.
there is a lot of news in the arena of CCSVI also, so please do read the newbies sticky under the CCSVI topic.
happy reading!
