So confused!!!!

Hi all. I'm 60 years old and although wasn't properly diagnosed with MS until 2 years ago I now realize I've been fighting MS a big part of my life. Now I've come to the point where I must decide to use meds or not. I take amantadine for fatigue and make adjustments for other MS related problems. My question is, I want any thoughts on whether its better to take the meds and deal with the additional side effects or keep doing what I've been doing??

Don't see much in your profile, what symptoms are you dealing with and what DMT are they suggesting?

I took copaxone then rebif both made me severely depressed so doc and I decided to just treat symptoms when they arise. Now after 23yrs I've gotten really sick this year so she plans to do lumbar puncture and she said there's 17different DM meds and the spinal fluid now reveals which is best for you. I'm 63 and think I made right decision for me at that time, plus we had small children and the meds are really expensive despite help! Pray about it and I wish you the best.
