Originally posted by GracieBH View PostI have decided to see a naturopathic Dr and get my mind and health in a better way. I am not ruling out going back on a DMD, but I'm going to do this first as well as a personal trainer.
I'm irritated that the Dr couldn't have at least wanted to see me and maybe put me on a dose of steriods. Telling me by phone when he finally called me back, MRI, then Steriods, then tell me what DMD you want to take, just has not set well with me. Would have been nice to have more than a 5 minute discussion on the phone.
And I am on a antidepressant for GAD and a year ago had a bout of panic disorder, works but the weight gain has been awful.
If anything I am going to do my best to make a positive change in a sucky situation.
You are taking two positive steps to control what you can. I know a DMD is a personal decision and part of a risk/benefit decision we all have to make. I would consider a DMD a third step to do all you can to fight MS. All 3 steps can be taken concurrently. It is worth a discussion with your neuro to make sure your decision is based on current medical understanding.
Good luck with your new path. Sounds like a really good choice.Kathy
