Sodium Lauryl Sulphate's a carcinogen?! I had NO idea! It's in toothpaste, that I do know, because I buy toothpaste without it at the suggestion of other folks who have burning mouth syndrome. Eeessssh. The stuff these companies put into products we use for whatever reasons... why why why?! I don't know who this "Dr. Mercola" is, but those websites look almost spammy. I wouldn't put all your chips into the information there, just saying.
Edit: I have a large amount of lesions, and my last MRI shows I have 2 active - one's a repeat, one's new. I don't (personally) believe in the DMDs, or other "therapies" for M.S. LDN may be a good option though. I have to echo the "carpshoot" sentiment.
I'm 37 and feel like I'm 30 some days, others I feel like I'm 65. I agree with what Erin says, stop Googling. Have good, open communication and discussions with your specialists and doctors. Tell them how you feel. Your worries, fears, ... that you're concerned you'd been stable, and now you're noticing certain symptoms.
