So I read that article that Dr. Mercola weighed in on.
He confirmed everything I have been pondering about MS, natural approaches vs. dmd, steroids and dmd.
So after thinking about it for months now, I am really going to stop taking Rebif.

I wish I could talk to my neurologist about this, but he doesn't support the idea and he's going to get aggressive with me and make me feel ever so tiny, so I am not even going to talk to him about it,which I know isn't safe, but what other option do I have?

Rebif makes me sick.
I get a fever every time I inject.
It's DESTROYING my skin.
And I honestly feel it's hurting my overall health.

My mom FREAKED when I said I'm going to cut out the omega-6 in my diet increase the omega-3, watch my sugar intake and carb intake, and drop off Rebif.

She's a nurse so her answer for everything is 'they have a drug for that.' and I understand why she says that, because she is in that field.

She also said I need to research and get on the forums because she was certain I have been talking to the wrong people. That offended me some, do you really think that I would be living with this crap disease and not explore my options for treatment? I informed her that I have been doing research everyday since I have been diagnosed. I know what I am RISKING and at this point in time I am willing to risk it.

Like Dejibo said in a previous thread.. She'd rather be in a wheelchair and have her wits about her, than to lie in bed staring off everyday, feeling sick.

I'm sick of feeling okay, then when I inject hours later feeling sick, can't move, stiff, and so uncomfortable in my own skin that I am about to just FREAK OUT!

So, with that being said, I am going to stop taking my Rebif and try and let my body naturally heal itself.

I have been CAREFULLY tanning, 10 minutes with a high-powered fan to keep me cool and if I start to feel even the tiniest bit warm, I shut the bed off. So I am increasing my Vitamin D intake, I am going to change my diet, and HOPEFULLY be able to pick up on Yoga. I did some research on the tanning thing (vitamin D, tanning, and MS patients), they did a study on MS Patients and had them tan for 10 minutes 3x a week. It increased their vit d levels and with most of the patients, they had a 44% chance of NOT RELAPSING! Isn't Rebif like a 31% chance you won't relapse? hmmm....

I'm nervous and excited at the same time. I have good feelings about this. And after reading that article by Dr. Mercola, it makes me feel that I really do know my body, and when I have a strong feeling about something, I should probably go with it vs. what other people say for me to do.

My boyfriend is trying his hardest to be supportive of this because he knows this is what I have been wanting to try for a long time now, but he's scared, he said he's worried about the long-term of it and he's also afraid that I'm going to end up in that chair within no time. Is it fair to HIM to take this chance?
