So, after, what turned out to be a relapse about a year ago, I was diagnosed this January with relapsing remitting MS, after two MRI's. I decided against having any treatment, as I wanted (and still do) to try and control the disease with diet, nutrition etc and see how it went. So far so good, I feel fine, apart from the odd little buggery things like 'hugged' hands, fatigue and occasional dead foot. Today had a follow up appointment. The neurologist flicked through my scan images and basically told me that my disease was active and had shown signs of progressing in the three months between each scan (nobody had told me that). He basically tried to scare tactic me into having treatment, saying that I could end up with poor memory, permanent gait problems or blindness. Then he said I could go on to primary progressive MS if I don't take treatment now, and then there would be no way of treating it... I feel absolutely fine and I love my job (and also need it financially).. Everything I've read seems to suggest any treatments have awful side effects, I'm a horticulturalist, so need to be up and about. Really want to stick to my guns and go 'natural', but I've been left feeling a bit vulnerable... Anyone got any sensible advice or first hand experience of treatments that have worked and the side effect, effects? Thanks guys.
