Hi Redk , Welcome! There is a broad spectrum of people dealing with MS here. We are a wide range of ages and experiences so you are sure to find people that can empathize with your experience. I was diagnosed in 1999 with RRMS. I’m still RRMS and doing well. I also take it day to day. That’s the best approach for me.

Hi Kayla. Welcome! I don't post much but I do follow what everyone says and I have learned a lot. I've had MS for 20 years now, and in the secondary progress stage now. I'm in a wheelchair, can't walk and I'm losing my hands ability slowly. But I try to stay positive and see the best day by day. I have a 17-year-old son who has grown up seeing me from walking going to a cane, then a walker now wheelchair. He helps me a lot As I'm sure your 12-year-old does as well. Currently I am on no DMT since I went into the secondary progress stage about four years ago. I haven't gotten any worse being on no drugs but I do pop a lot of vitamins on a daily basis. I have for many many years and I swear that's what keeps me going better than a DMT. Everyone is different though. Let's talk more, I feel a connection. Have a blessed day. Shelli

Hello darlin exactly what is a DMT ?I should know and what vitamins do you take? I never really know which one actually is supposed to help.

Disease Modifying Therapy. I took Betaseron for 14 years. Tried Aubugio and Ampyra after the Betaseron but no luck. Hence, no DMT for past 5 years. I take Vit D 50,000 once a week, +2000 vitamin D daily in addition. The high-dose vitamin D is through prescription, and I take B 12 5000 daily, biotin 10,000 daily, cranberry pills 2 a day. This is what I currently take, then my doctor has had me on different vitamins in past years.
