I want to make it clear that I'm not picking on you. But that is a ridiculous blanket statement to make. I'm sure at some point you'll wish to amend that.

I have multiple sclerosis. I'm on a wide variety of medication, the main 3 of which are Rebif, baclofen, and a large dosage of Ibuprofen.

The Rebif is an interferon that works with my body to lessen the frequency and severity of my attacks. Without it I would never be able to lead a normal lifestyle, as an exacerbation can occur at any time. Possibly a debilitating one that could leave me in a wheelchair or using a really snazzy pimp cane at the ripe old age of 22. The baclofen is a muscle relaxer to alleviate painful hand spasms. And the ibuprofen I take so injecting myself with the Rebif isn't as painful and to help with the side effects of the rest of the medication.

I'm also taking multi-vitamins, flaxseed oil, and consuming less than 1200 calories a day.

I'm all for herbal medicine, but genetic diseases are something no herb in the world is going to be able to help.
