That's pretty stunning, no drugs...I guess I just have gauged any MS issues with the drugs and my sister's path.

As many have said, often the drugs are worse than the disease.

This kinda makes me think of RA as I've been on a health group where so many with RA took the drugs with mega side effects, they talked about, but for them they felt the side effects were better than the RA progression.

My neighbor was dx'd with RA about a year ago and did some of the drugs but is now off them as she's dealing with the side effects aftermath. Says she will NOW work with the RA with nutrition and her aleve. She's on a fixed income so I give her a supplement now and then to help her with fish oils and DGL stomach protector. She and I have mindsets of less drugs as possible...but with the RA recently she went on a few but is off them now. Hope that she will make it the way she is handling her condition.

I deal with bodywide OA and Fibro (so I've been told) and take none of the heavy duty drugs, ibuprofen and DGL for stomach protection, is my heavy drug. Then there is this mess from hip replacement, which has been lifechanging in a way I didn't expect. I manage and try not to worry about the down the road with advanced aging, 77 soon. My sis is 67.

My 1:30 ibuprofen is kicking in and feeling less pain. Doesn't last long enough....C
