Thanks! All of that info helps me understand where people are coming from in their arguments. I'm big into bias, part of my job in the school district now with instructional technology.

I don't think we need to teach for memorization, as many teachers still do, unfortunately, because you can find any answer you need through research on the internet, but it is important to understand bias! Thus my need to know your backgrounds.

Cherie, I totally understand why you haven't done meds, and I've read about many with the LDN, so I do think that is a form of treatment. My big problem with knowing if your way of treating MS is really worth it (for me, that is, not for you ) is your lack of MRIs. For me, since MS doesn't show itself in outward symptoms, I worry about what damage may be happening that will jump out and bite me some day!

I agree with some of your ways of treating the disease - I just can't see myself going without a great steak occasionally !

Chris, I too have a desk job that allows me to take it easier. I was lucky enough to get switched to a district position from a teaching position 8 months before diagnosis. My boss knows I feel like crap sometimes, and he doesn't push me. That is a big reliever of stress!

Thanks again for your answers!


So I have the yearly MRIs to see how the meds are working on those unseen damaged areas. That has played a role in my med choices.
