      From Summoning August 16

      my doc said the MS society did a test to see if it really does work and it came back that it doesnt help. If there was some scientific proof that it helps, even a little than he would give it to, but all there is peoples words, no proof :(
      There is all sorts of "proof' on the drug companies web site, but guess that wasnt good enough.
      My nero said drug companies do lie....(no sh*t) lol

      Just started. I am at 3.0 mg. now. Started at 1.5 mg. one month ago.
      Physical Therapy Working / Worked
      Helped me get strength in my legs so that I did not have to use my cane as much.
      Prednisone Somewhat Helpful

    • Close Food Allergies
      Type of allergy: Other Foods

      Diagnosed with MS over 4 yrs. ago and read recently how diet can help by avoiding food allergies. I have several food allergies: mainly milk and hazlenuts and looking for ways to find milk alternatives.

      Treatments

      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
      Working by avoiding, but am very limited since there is dairy in almost everything.
