Know your medicine

Know your medicine, know what it does and does not do know your options. Modifying your expectations based on this knowledge. Never be afraid to try new things and perhaps take a risk. If “YOU” have done your research and studied your options then and only then can “YOU” make an informed intelligent decision. Always being aware that this is a lifelong condition. I will say it again lifelong. Do not be afraid and overwhelmed by that, it just “IS” no more no less it just “IS”.

If anybody says, we will wait and see the first word out of your mouth should be “NO” of course be polite. If “YOU” are new and overwhelmed ask for the most powerful medicine available, if “YOU” do not like needles (like me) ask for the safest strongest tablet. I am not sure what it is but one can cause a nasty disease called PML. It stands for something long and people have died from it. Not a lot but why take the risk it is not as though it is the only medicine available. Why take the risk, as it will not cure “YOU” if it did I would say take it, Nothing ventured nothing gained.

This condition is very Doable in 2019. There is heartbreak some pain a lot of embarrassment and fear but when “YOU” approach it with some knowledge and understanding it is an entirely Doable illness. One which “YOU” most certainly can adjust to and live a good happy long life with.

This very good! It is very important to know what you are putting into your body. Most of us don't eat just anything because someone said it might taste good, most of us would ask what it was before eating it. Please treat your meds the same way-find out what it is, what it does & what it might do later.

Thanks, RoyceNewton for your post.
