hiya the quick answer is not everyone is on DMDs - some choose not to be, others don't qualify for the strict criteria for each drug - it all depends on symptoms and relapse rates etc....you don't need to worry about if you have missed out and what it may have done for you - it can take some people years and years to be diagnosed and so they have not been on DMDs either...look at how you are presently and then i'm sure you ms nurse will say @ your appt whether a DMD is suitable and available or not as there is so much out there that is used to help with ms symptoms be it a DMD or an alternative. Good luck! :-)
