Loved the line about doctors prescribing 'you get off your butt' instead of taking a drug!
Love it!!
I think the same thing with the MS Society. Their studies are sometimes BS -- studying stuff that we already know and not really finding the cure. Just studying more drugs. The MS Society is big business. They raise millions of $$ just in this area alone. They make money off of us and make a darn good living off of our misery.
I took an antidepressant for seven years before giving it up to be a pilot. I went to a counselor who asked how I was taking the pills. I took them when I felt that life was getting to be too much. She explained that I could find any placebo for all the help I was getting. I substituted dark chocolate M & Ms and haven't had a problem since.
I refused to get injected with gadolinium for a contrast MRI due to a possible deadly manmade disease. I literally discovered while on my way to do MRI. My neuto was upset with me and he said" why are you worried about side effects of gadolinium? You will be on a drug that will have more side effects than gadolinium" really? Thanks but no thanks. I do not even know if stopping these drugs can actually worsen the symptoms one would not have in the first place if not for the drug
