Anyhow, thanks for your supportive thoughts.  Cherie you've inspired me to keep going for a little while longer, toughing it out, and hoping my body can adjust. |
Hi Natalie,
Here I am . . . one who has never even tried any of the meds because I too have a terrible time with most anything . . . telling you to stay on.
Knowing my background, and the way that the MS has presented itself with me, my doc and neuro have advised me not to take them. So, please know I am not discounting your experience or issues with the drugs. I certainly wouldn't blame you (in the end) if you opt out.
I really just wanted to say that if you are strong enough to give them a try . . . you ought to give them a fair shake. If they don't work out, it is highly unlikely that you will try them again . . . so you want to be sure that you are not giving up too early. None of them are that great, when it comes to side-effects (especially with med-sensitive people), but if your body can adjust, perhaps this will keep you healthier with the disease for longer.
I'm glad to hear your anxiety about taking them has settled down a little.
Cherie
