Drugs that are prescribed willy-nilly to PWms

How safe and thought through are they? Some drugs are given out with little thought for their wider effects on us. Another great post from the MS-Selfie. Gavin is super kind because if you can't afford a subscription just say and he'll let you follow for free. https://gavingiovannoni.substack.com...

Blood order made - my treatment decision

Hello everyone, I joined this site back in November when I was diagnosed with RRMS. I didn't know anything about MS at the time so I had a lot to learn.
