Recently diagnosed with Multiple sclerosis

I was diagnosed with MS in 2004. I stated Avonex interferon the day after my diagnosis and continued weekly injections through December 2021. Under guidance of my neurologist, I stopped Avonex (an immune suppressant) so that I can have a Covid-19 vaccine (an immune stimulant). We agreed that I am much more likely to die of Covid-19 than of MS since most people who have MS die WITH it instead of FROM it. Over the years I’ve learned ways to improve my nutrition, exercise, and sleep. My only advice to you is to remember that YOU have MS, but MS doesn’t have YOU. Also, please remember that MS has been around for a century at least, but the Medical Community still doesn’t know what causes it or how to prevent it. You are your own best doctor when it comes to wellness. The book titled Eat, Move, Sleep is very helpful.

I thankfully have a wonderful neurologist who won’t prescribe me any DMT’s. He said they’d kill me. Thank you so much for replying to me 👍🏻
