Some people do have wonderful results for months on some meds. Most drugs can be taken and, if need be, due to side effects, can be ended with little to no after effects (may have to be weened gradually) in the long term. Looking back I wish I had been willing to try a couple for my husband.
The doctor is respecting your right to make choices. Some meds only work for 16% of the population, but it is your decision. It isn't like needing air in order to live; it's how long you may have quality of life!!
It's always a tough choice due to so many unknowns.

Thank you for presenting another way of looking at things. This makes great sense to me. Neuro appointment this coming week and I will go in with an open mind.

I 100% agree with Ann on her post. Quality versus Quantity. I think all of us know which one we’d choose. You have a long road ahead and know Prayers are headed your way. Some decisions are hard to make and this is one. Since it’s an early stage, ask what their choices would they want. No one ever thinks it won’t happen in their family but unfortunately it happens more than others know. As well, know the “ Mayo family” is here for you to vent…David
