Five Months Without Copaxone…
…and I feel great. I know there are people reading this who think I should be on my meds, but I have to say, I have felt so much better since stopping the injections. I still ignore the fact that I have MS, but I think that’s better than dwelling on it and letting the disease consume my life.
My ankle pain has gone away, and I’m not injecting myself daily with a chemical compound that lowers my immune system, making me prone to even worse illnesses than multiple sclerosis.
I believe that life is what you make it today. It’s always the mindset I have lived by – to live life in the moment – so why let this stupid diagnosis change that? I won’t.
I believe we can overcome anything with the right atitude. This is just one more of those examples in my life.

Michelle, I am truly inspired by your approach and attitude toward MS. I don’t know anything about the meds you’re “supposed” to be on, according to the medical community – or whoever has this opinion. You know yourself better than anyone. If you feel better off the meds – it’s real, and good for you, for listening to your body.
It is so true – life is what you make of it. And it sounds like you’re living your life to the fullest.
Thank you for sharing.
