It is important to remember that MS is only one part of a person and not the person.
MS does not represent them, it is not their identity, they are as normal as the next person.
Disease Modifying Drugs
When considering disease modifying drugs having as much information available as
is possible is essential. Your health is your responsibility, although there are
others to advise and give their opinions they do not have the problem -
Before you make the step towards disease modifying drugs make a list of any other factors that could influence your health status which may be contributing to the problems / symptoms caused by the disease.
Such as:
- Dietary Habits.
- Lifestyle
- Infections.
- Pain
- Stress problems.
- Smoking.
Discuss these matters with your doctor, your neurologist, your family, your friends.
Remember:
Those who may be advising you, or providing information may have self interest.
What you may read in a newspaper article has not necessarily been investigated fully or compiled by a person who is conversant with the disease the are writing about?
Cut and pasted media articles posted up on charity web sites and elsewhere should not always be considered to be accurate or meaningful. Additional research and comment should be an addition to any article.
Whatever decisions are made make sure they are yours!
