And, on almost every posting to the “newly dx”, someone pops in to say that it is worthwhile to discuss the DMD’s with their doctor, ESPECIALLY if the person is having a ton of relapses.

Give me a break! I don’t even do the DMD’s, but they are mainstream gold standard for MS. That approach is common sense for anyone who has been dealing with this disease, NOT medical advice.

I simply gave you some insight as to why you were asked if you were a doctor. I too can pull up many threads where you have been involved with "virtual altercations" with members on who's right and who's wrong.

Sometimes a member just wants to vent or put something out there. Relax. Don't take this where it doesn't need to go.

If you have any further comments to me personally bring it up in a PM not on Char's thread.
