    I am 60 and was taken off Techfidera on November 2019 due to a relapse. I am expected back at the MS Clinic in mid March with a decision on taking Lemtrada, Ocrevus or Cladribine. I spent most of November and December looking at everything I could find on the 3 DMT’s however it is the potential side effects that are stopping me from proceeding. I am not comfortable not knowing what a reduced B cell supply means long term. I don’t want PML either.  Cost is not an issue for me thankfully.  In the meantime while I continue to feel my decision will be no DMT’s I am trying to eat healthy trying to follow the Wahls Protocol or Dr. Jelineks Overcoming MS. But it’s really challenging. Old habits are hard tochange. I have given up most sugar except for a cup of coffee with 2 sugar each morning. It’s my one firm stance as I want to enjoy a cup of coffee before starting my day. I guess my question is did anyone try food management as a choicebefore deciding these drugs?
