It's my own choice, deal!
When I was first diagnosed, I didn't know what was going to happen! so I wanted to learn about my own MS before choosing a dmd. Now that I know my symptoms and relapse rate (none so far!) and reading about the diff DMDs (what they do, side effects and so on) I've decided not to take any...
...plus I'm at the baby making/wanting age! My family (well, most of them) were extremely unsupportive when I told them my decision and now that I AM pregnant. they're always going on about how not being on any meds is bad. *sigh* I still don't know if they're comparinf me to someone without MS, or comparing what I used to be like (which is exacly the same!!). I keep telling them what the drugs do (i.e. NOT a cure!!!) and why I'm not on any - they just don't get it, don't listen and don't believe me. But have they done their own research? Not a chance. I wish they would just deal with it and LISTEN to me. *humpf*
Good for you for standing up for what YOU want...it's your body after all. I know the feeling of people seeming to forget that small detail that it's us that have to deal with it all. I did choose a DMD but given that I had 5 serious relapses in my first year of MS, the idea of reducing them by a third sounded pretty appealing. For you, with a relapse rate of none,, not taking a DMD seems to make just as much sense...after all, they reduce your relapse rate...yours already seems pretty amazing to me! Chin up and try not to let to let other people's-often uneducated- judgements get to you. Congratulations on your pregnancy-enjoy every moment:) xx
