Oh! I agree with soccertese about levo/carbo. Considering how much of it that I eat it is remarkably kind. And it leaves room for experimenting if you do your homework and avoid MAOIs and agonists, etc.

IMHO one should look at the processes involved and tackle them. Oxidation. Neuroinflammation. Mitochondrial problems and so on. Make choices and take actions with this kind of info to guide you.

There is one drug in particular that the MS community has been testing and that you may be aware of - Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) seems very promising. Our own RLSmith has been taking it for ten years or more and seems to be doing very well.
