Everyone does what they feel is best for them.

Some of us have really excellent insurance and can try all the meds that are approved for MS. Some of us don't and it's a little more of a challenge. Some of us try the naturopathic way of treating any disease we may have. It works for some but not all.

Everyone of us have a unique body chemistry and what may work wonders for one may not work at all for another.

We're here to offer support for whatever path you choose to take regarding your MS.

At this point in my personal (and unique) journey I think I am "middle of the road". Several years ago when I was able to afford the MS dmds I tried several. Wasn't able to tolerate the Interferons or Copaxone. Some folks are.....and I hope they continue to tolerate them well. They can help halt progressions in lots of people.

I got all gung-ho about diet and nutrition. Found out just how expensive it is to eat totally organic!! Also did alot of research and learned which foods are best, regardless of health issues, and tweaked my diet to include them.

I did become vegetarian and would be vegetarian even if I didn't have MS. It's not for everyone but I've found that no meat means less inflammation for me. Plus, I just feel better.

Whatever works for any individual is what they should be concentrating on. Just because someone eats stuff that I don't (or can't) doesn't mean that they are not diligent with their healthcare or choices. We all have to take care of ourselves however it works best for us. It's all individual. But we all just need to know that whatever we choose we can come here and talk about it in a safe and non-judgmental environment. I love you all!!
