I will tell you in the year since I quit I am healthier, stronger, faster, in a better mood, and can get more of my life completed without dragging thru my day sick and beaten up.

I just hate to hear about doctors using scare tactics to get people to take medications. As much uncertainty as there is about MS it always amazes me when a doctor can predict something so drastic....such as ending up in a wheelchair. Why can't they tell us when we're going to have an exacerbation......or a UTI.....or ON?
