Short Bio

I am 36 and was diagnosed with relapsing and remitting MS 9 years ago after developing optic neuritis in left eye. Before diagnosis I had symptoms affecting my walling for a few days at a time, one dide of my face was numb for a short period time, my right arm was affected, tiredness, brain fog and other neurological symptoms. After diagnosis I was prescribed Avonex beta interferon injections  then changed to copaxone the steriods all which made me feel much worse. After going down the nutritional route I saw an improvement in symptoms and my foctor allowed me to come off my medication. Although he did say I could come off it for now I was medication free for 6 years. But now my neurologist would like me to start medication again.

I currently have strange pains down one side of my body and numbness on part of my face which I can only assume is MS.
