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. |
[sarcasm] Oh c'mon Meg, stop treating symptoms, if you took more Vitamin B via eating Fish rectums and Beta 6 via swallowing scorpion sperm you wouldnt have ANY illnesses at all! [/sarcasm]
