Thanks a lot for this info. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis several months ago. Of course, I was shocked and it took me time to realize the problem. Currently, I'm looking for any useful and helpful information about this disease. Though I'm on tecfidera (that is proved to be effective), I know that there is no treatment. I'm interested in the ways to slow the process down. Your post is very helpful for me.

I'm very happy it was helpful! We're just doing a research review and aren't qualified to give any medical advice about specific patients, but I am very happy it gave you some ideas. I hope that you will find more things that help you. Maybe you can find more discussions on the forum on a site like PatientsLikeMe.com.
