I've tried all sorts of treatments, including different diets and I've continued to get worse! But after reading all the information that's come through this group, especially from Carol, I think that the Best Bet Diet IS OUR BEST BET at this point. I've deleted the foods that I should and I just recently had the test for food allergies and am waiting for the results. Being patient with this disease isn't easy for me but I know that's what I'll need to do. I just have to keep hoping that this can/will work for us and we can't give up. Like Carol said it took her 4 years. (you might want to read about MacDougall too at http://www.direct-ms.org/roger.html). But I don't feel I have anything to lose at this point. I'm 35 and I've had this disease for over 18 years- and now I am Progressive. My neuro also prescribed Copaxone for me. I'm divorced and on Disability so I had to be approved for financial assistance. I am supposed to receive the Copaxone in two weeks. I am still struggling with whether I even want to take it? I've heard some say they had bad side effects from it, while others like Carol, say they don't have any. It's hard to know what to do sometimes. My family is Strongly encouraging me to try it too. I guess I just wanted you to know that you're not alone! I've had many days that I thought I would never be able to stop crying! But, try reading the sites that Carol told you about, they're helpful. Keep in touch with the group, we're here for each other! I'd like to hear how you're doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2001 Report Share Posted July 18, 2001 I guess I just wanted you to know that you're not alone! I've had many days that I thought I would never be able to stop crying! But, try reading the sites that Carol told you about, they're helpful. Keep in touch with the group, we're here for each other! I'd like to hear how you're doing. KC, I feel the same, I'd like to hear how you are doing too - how you do on Copaxone, how it works without beef etc. Don't give up on natural methods, whether you go to Copaxone or not. (I feel you've just been given the wrong advice for natural means.) When I hear a story like yours, where someone has tried so hard to use natural means and then doesn't see any results and is very depressed about it, the first thing I want to do is try to help them. I gave you all the best information I could think of, but in my haste to do that, left out the human element. I always feel that the best thing I can give anyone is something that can really help them in a very practical way, and leave them with something lasting that will make a difference in their lives. I guess I'm just too practical, and think of the practicalities first. It probably comes from the fact that that's what I do for myself, but I forget that I'm pretty unusual that way, and other people may need some morale boosting first. Afterall, that's what a support group is all about. Please forgive my seeming insensitivity. I'm really not so insensitive as I may seem. I just want to help.
