[quote=Anonymous] My mother has Multiple Sclerosis. Many years ago, she nearly died from the side effects of one medication her doctor had given her. Since then she has any other treatment. Her MS progresses slowly but inexorably. It's her decision. I don't think I would have rejected everything - I'm a scientist, I can read the literature myself on what looks promising and what sounds too dangerous, and articulate my concerns clearly to my doctors, since I speak the same language. But my mother isn't coming from the same place, both from a knowledge/training and personal experience standpoint, and I get that. I would encourage you nonetheless to keep a close eye on possible treatments and advocate for the ones you want to your doctors. You can always have a productive conversation about what works, what doesn't, and what lower-key course of action you could take. [/quote]
