Jules makes a good point. If I had not given it a fair try...meaning that I tried both Copaxone and the Interferon DMD's....I would not have felt so comfortable doing what I did. But, I'm taking LDN which has helped me more than any of the DMD's did so I feel like I'm still fighting the monster the best way I can.

Diet and supplements will benefit anyone - not just those with MS. But for those of us with auto-immune disorders it seems to have good results probably because we're reducing inflammation and boosting our anti-oxidant consumption. Not to mention D3 which has been proven to help a whole plethora of conditions.

I lost my health insurance when I had to stop working so LDN, being so inexpensive, was a Godsend for me. Maybe that's why so many folks who have insurance don't try it. The whole "you get what you pay for" is definitely not true in my case! I was paying a ridiculous amount (well, my insurance company was) for the prescription DMD's and I was just getting worse. Once I started the LDN - which is not an insurance-covered DMD, my condition made a U-turn.

If Copaxone or one of the Interferon's works for you that's wonderful. But they don't work for everyone - just like LDN doesn't work for everyone. Everyone has a different chemical makeup in their body so nothing is going to work 100% of the time for 100% of the people.
