Anyone else living with MS and not on medication?
Diagnosed in 2001 after a domestic episode caused a concussion and an MRI was ordered. Never had any symptooms that I was aware of . Took injections for 1 yr , had all of the symptoms of the flu for 5 days following the shot and could only tolerate a 1/2 can of ensure a day. Went from a size 10 to a size 2. Stopped the medication and was promptly " fired" by my neurologist as a patient and I have been continuing on since. I have symptoms, some painful, most not so bad, some stay for months, some a few days.

My goodness, I'm sorry to hear of all you've been through.
I do hope others will chime in with their personal experiences.
In the meantime, I'm sending tons of positive thoughts your way.
Be well, Doreen (Team Member)Happy Friday! Thank you for your reply, I really appreciate it! Today is a good day so far! Neuropathy ( pain, burning and tingling) in my feet and legs have subsided again. Ahhh... 😀
, that sounds like a lot to deal with, and I'm sorry you were "fired." My neurologist also chose to stop taking my appointments when I refused medication, but it's important to be your own advocate which is something I was never good at (former people pleaser here).
MS is so different for everyone, but I have been managing symptoms well with diet and exercise. I know it can change at any moment and I'm always ready to readjust my approach, but for now, this is much better quality of life for me ❤️
I hope you find a neurologist that is willing to work *with* you.Hello Shae, Thankyou for your reply...I was without a neurologist from 2002 until a few years ago. Still not on any meds in agreement with my neurologist. I adhere to a low carb, no junk or processed food diet, stretch all throughout the day, exercise and still run a few 5Ks every year. Taking several herbal Anti-Inflammatories and 4 mushroom tinctures. I can definitly feel the difference. Hope you have a fantastic rest of your day! 😀
