Not trying to start anything, I just want to know how a Dr. is with someone not doing DMD's.

When Betaseron became available I had been in the lottery but as my number was close to coming up my neuro and I decided to wait since it was the first drug of it's kind and there were alot of unknowns. Through the years my neuro would just tell me if I ever changed my mind about a DMD to let him know.

My current neuro does not want me on the DMDs - since there is no way to know how I have managed as well as I have all these years there is a concern the DMDs could possibly cause problems rather than help.
