Hi Sherry,
I sure understand your reluctance to take these meds--all of them. They all
have a shotgun effect and who know what all they do in your body. However, I
chose the better, at least now, of two evils as my exacerbations are really hard
to live with and were getting worse and longer. I had severe vertigo and really
can't function with it. I think we all have to weigh the alternatives. Right
now there's no harmless drug that will stop this beast. There are other,
alternative things to consider like LDN, stress reduction with meditation,
relaxation methods, acupuncture, Chinese herbs, diet, etc. You say your last
exacerbation never stopped. What are your symptoms? Are they getting worse?
Are you diagnosed with Secondary Progressive or are you stuck with the long term
effects of your severe exacerbation?
