take a Disease Modifying Therapy NOW

Not every DMT suits everybody. If your first one does not suit YOU, Try another then another. You WILL find the best one for you. THEN STICK WITH IT, you can not play against ms alone. YOU like me, like everybody needs a little help, accept it and take it. YOU are not weak, there is nothing to fear.

As they say chose a pill and we will show u opportunities You never imagined, & yes I know they are not the words, but YOU get my drift. TAKE your medicine NOW do not wait. Waiting is our companions goal not your friend.

Be the best you,

Royce

Betaferon/Bataseron for years, now Tecfidera, did try the 3 X Bata 1A for a month but it did not agree with me at all.

I am not taking any. When i had surgery and got pneumonia my neuro decided to keep me off until i recouped. In 2 weeks i go back to maybe start Ocverous.

I am afraid of how i am gonna get to infusion center - its in shreveport. My fiancΓ© is hardly ever home and i have no one else.

Getting financial aid wen u r on medicare is a challenge. Its like dialing for dollars w the places that can help and they r always out of $ wen u call

And god help me if my hair falls out again i am gonna lose it

It's ok to be scared you are not the only one. I am scared my trigeminal is coming back, so fear is really to be expected on this journey. Acknowledge your fear and own it, it really does help just takes practice.

Hey Midgey_Midge06 πŸ€—πŸ’• your talking to the pro of being scared. πŸ˜’ The problem with it I have found, is it does me no good. I still have to face it. Unless it's Zombies, then y'll can kma. 😭

Take a look back, and see what you have overcome already! And be proud! And go from there!πŸ€—πŸ’•

Thanks for reminding us. :)

Ocrevus is the strongest one they've got for MS and I like it a lot.
