This sucks! You are a smart person & will make your own decisions but I would not touch that shit. My experience with neurologists both professionally as a former surgical tech & as a caregiver for my dad who has Alzheimer’s is they are full of shit. They are corrupt to the core from my experience.
The last time I spoke to a neurologist it was after walking out of the office for being left to wait for 45 minutes after the appointment was supposed to start, with my dad who can barley function. He called me as I was driving home & I told him he was a drug dealing pill pushing piece of shit, & even if he meant well he was smart enough to know the shit pills he prescribed as a form of medicine is bullshit. Designed to prolong diseases with no intention of curing the underlying issues. His response was these are billion dollar corporations & he is doing his best in the system. I responded you are cashing huge paychecks at others expense & it’s not up to me to know if you really mean well, but from my perspective you are a shit person. I then asked him if he knew any good malpractice attorneys (told him not for him), & he gave me a reference to a good lawyer actually.
The sad thing is, he was the best neurologist I met & was still nothing better than a dirty pill pusher imo. The seizure medication & little Prozac my dad is on is better managed by a nurse practitioner who goes to his place & doesn’t try to sell more pills in a fucked up life at all costs way. Quality of life is where it’s at for me.
I think the more physical things you can do for your health the better. Have you tried any cbds or cannabis related medications? I’ve done very little research on MS but sounds like your instincts are correct to me on the shots. Obviously, don’t take my word for it, but I would seek as many different opinions as possible. The more we believe the medications we are using are good for us the more they help us, similarly, if we believe the medicine we are using won’t help us it has a much greater chance of not helping us. Been proven again & again.
I wish you much health & wisdom to trust your intuition about what is right for you. Sorry for the long winded response, but I felt very compelled to give my biased perspective. & I hate big pharma bs more than any other bs!
