Welcome to NT...sorry you have the invitation of MS that got you here...

I am on C and have been on it for 3 years. I have had very slow progression, and my doc first told me my MS is benign, but he doesn't say that anymore, since I have gait/balance problems and cognitive problems.

You have to make your own decision...but make sure it is an informed one. Do the research...I have read that when we are diagnosed at an older age, MS progresses more quickly (I personally think it's because we've had it for years and were undiagnosed).

Anyway, lots of good info from others; exercise; eat right; get enough sleep, and make sure to pace yourself throughout the day.

Good luck and let us know what you decided...
