So...on top of trying out Ocrevus, I'm also trying acupuncture. Ocrevus is a science experiment for me because it was NOT tested in people my age nor was it compared to any of the more powerful DMT's. And it remains to be seen whether or not there is a PML risk. It hasn't been out in the wild long enough for anyone to say for sure if there is a risk or not.
I decided to try the acupunture to see if it will help with the neuropathy I have in my lower legs every darn day. Its the most annoying thing and can keep me awake at night. (I take gabapentin for it but that only helps a little and sometimes it seems not at all.)
The acupuncturist did the most thorough review of my health history I've ever had. She is going to be treating me in a holistic sense like an N.D. would. I had the first treatment last weekend and will have a treatment once a week for the next few weeks. We will evaluate it at the end.
In addition to the acupuncture once a week, she also has me doing some things to improve my gut health. I've read a lot about this recently in relationship to auto immune disorders so what she asked me to do makes perfect sense: I'm taking probiotics, drinking kefir to meet her fermented foods requirement and drinking a cup of bone broth daily. Its all very interesting.
