hi so after really thinking long and hard, looking at all the side effects common ones with each med category and looking at my 12 year old daughter i decided no meds for me, not right now at least.
I"m a little nervous about my decision, it was a hard one to make. Yet I want quality of life, and if i'm sick from injections and can't be there for my daughter, myself and my family what good am I? I know this decision differs for alot of diff. people. I respect all, and am not anti meds at all. I just had to weigh the risks and benefits for myself.
So, I have the avonex coming in the mail after speaking to the company and drug rep.
My question is do you think my neurologist will stay onboard without me taking medication? has anyone kept their neuro while handling it thru supplements, yoga, dietery changes?
I still want mri's done at certain intervals to check on that brain of mine and see what it's doing, and want the neuro exams.
Yet i noticed since i've been doing my yoga twice a day my last neuro exam i was able to touch my nose, my leg pain has decreased, and my balance is a little better.
i pray i am doing the right thing. so hard isn't it in the beginning, middle and end so to speak?? sorry just my usual twisted humor
