Laura, I asked Chemar to make the edit in your poll and she did.

Like Dej, when I was first dx I did everything the doctors told me to do. I remember coming home from work at lunch once just because I had forgotten to do my shot of Copaxone that morning!

Lots has changed since 2005....the year I was dx. I've drastically changed the way I eat (mostly clean, whole, organic foods), only drink water, stopped the DMD's and religiously take my vitamins and supplements.

Everyone has to find their comfort zone with their treatment plan. I look at doctors in an entirely different light now. This was a huge wake up call for me, too. It showed me that we all have to be our own advocate and do what we feel is best for us.
