No treatment reasons?

I've noticed on people's profile's it says lots of you are 'not on any treatment'. Out of interest, can I be nosy and ask why you have chosen not to take any? I'm curious, as that never really even crossed my mind! Thanks, Sarah x

Treatment by Tablet?

Hi, I know there's been a huge buzz around the tablets being introduced to treat MS instead of the dreaded injections(which we must get to grips with to continue!) Has anyone on here been prescribed the tablets instead? And how are you getting on with them? Take care xxx
