2 Feb 2023 Not Doctor

[RoyceNewton]

G'day ms family. Just to make certain. I am not now, nor have I ever been a medical professional of any sort. The things I may say are my opinion and my opinion only. Do not take what I say as something that YOU must do, merely as an option from somebody who has played the Rlepsing Remitting ms (RRms( game for over 20 years. Not sure exactly as it is not that important to me, and is a very firm believer in Disease Modifying Therapy (DMT).

I hope I am clear. Now go out and have a nice day. Be easy on yourself and try to forgive others. They do not know any better what is going on with YOU. Perhaps they are trying their best as well.

YOU are loved and cared about.

Royce,

your ms Writer.

Thank you, Royce! I am trying to be happy today. I have a large roaster full of chicken, potatoes, onions, and cabbage cooking in the oven, and I plan to have plenty of leftovers even after feeding my son! It was 13F when I fed the birds this morning, so I won't be going outside again.

What time's dinner?

[NorasMom in reply to falalalala]

About 90 minutes from now. All are welcome. I never could cook for just one or two people!

[falalalala in reply to NorasMom]

I think you're awesome!

[NorasMom in reply to falalalala]

Thank you, but this will be the only time I cook this month. 😜

[falalalala in reply to NorasMom]

Well, you've got me beat!😂😂

[NorasMom in reply to falalalala]

lol. I figure there's a reason God invented Campbell's soup and microwaves.

Good morning Royce!! I say good, but it isn't over in North England, bit rainy today 🤣 not surprised though, had almost dry conditions the past couple of days 🤷‍♀️ and same, tried doing a nursing degree and had to drop out at year 2 semester 3 😕 not necessarily ms related, but the stuff I learnt has carried over. Near enough to the point where my soon-to-be husband and friends know who to get in contact with regarding health problems! They remember the time where me, my partner, and his best friend went to the pub one night, and on the walk home, his friend had a seizure! Thankfully, he is known to have them anyway, but that night I switched from tipsy me, to nurse me, in an instant! 🤣

I, too, am an advocate for dmt's. I've been on ocrevus since July 2021 (after being on copaxone since diagnosis), and my mri I had last Sept didn't reveal any new lesions!!! I'm so happy about that news!!!!!! 👐👐👐 just need to heal the ones in my head now 😅

[RoyceNewton in reply to Cwright170994]

glad to hear that you are well. If you find a way to fix lesions feel free to let me know 😆 have a good day

[Cwright170994 in reply to RoyceNewton]

Ooh, I'll let everyone know!!! Definitely!!!!!! And you have a good day yourself ❤️

[Cwright170994 in reply to RoyceNewton]

I believe that, if you let your body do its thing, you can heal lesions. I've compared my 1st MRI with the MRI I got when I had to start ocrevus, and I've noticed the lesion from my 1st MRI has started to disappear 🤔 I do know you've got stem cells already, called oligodenrocytes, that help repair the nerve cells when they've been damaged 🤷‍♀️

[RoyceNewton in reply to Cwright170994]

Keep up the Ocrevus and stay positive, good luck.

[Cwright170994 in reply to RoyceNewton]

Thank you!!! And I am doing!! My last mri didn't show any new lesions!!!!! 🥳💃 I'd only had 4 infusions (the starter ones counting as separate infusions) and I'm feeling so happy in myself 🙌🙌

Being kind to others is also healing for your self. I agree with being on a DMT, they're not a cure but will help slow progression.

[Tazmanian]

You will never know if your dmt is working or not until you stop and then it's too late

[RoyceNewton in reply to Tazmanian]

there is always competitive MRI But in a sense you are correct.
