My beloved RRms (Relapsing-Remitting ms) family. Good day to you all. A good restful nights sleep. Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed today, ready for the next day of adventure in you very long RRms life.
As I have said, this is a long-term, progressive illness. The prognosis should be a gradual decline. "YOU" want to make that gradual decline as gradual as "YOU" possibly can make it. Be smart, carefully make your decisions. Do not procrastinate and take forever, indecisiveness is not your friend. Do nothing and ms just eats you up. Sadly, sometimes ms will just eat "YOU" up. That is the nature of the disease. No rhyme, no reason.
"YOU" are not totally helpless but a lot of the drugs "YOU" may be given are very serious medicines. They may have very unpleasant side effects. I remember when I was on Betaferon\betaseron for years I took ibuprofen religiously before injections and a meal. To advert side effects.
The4se are SERIOUS medicines that we take. Protect yourself, BUT take them. Ask questions, how big is the cancer risk, what can I do to lessen the cancer risk, is it worth taking it. "YOU" might get cancer of some sort, but doing nothing "YOU" WILL go downhill, how fast I am not a Doctor but "YOU" will go downhill, faster rather than slower.
Take the risk, what have "YOU" to lose, in my opinion.
