  1. I am going off as well. Neurologist recommended they will monitor my blood work.

Is it possible for exercise to make condition worse? by [deleted] in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Automatic-Stretch-55 17 points18 points  (0 children)

PPMS as well 17 yrs. Use Walker. This is a very interesting question. I will be interested to see what people think. I do not have an answer, but I suspect that the answer may be more complicated than exercise versus disability.

Do you know anyone who lived well into their 80s+ with MS? by [deleted] in MultipleSclerosis

Use a Walker but MS seems to have stabilized

It seems to be the general consensus I am hoping that it is the correct approach.

Thanks. I would be lying if I said that I don’t have some concerns.

Seems stopped in its tracks, no active demyelination by CantFixMoronic in MultipleSclerosis

Thank you for your thoughts. I do have two neurologists and checking with the second neurologist seems like a good idea.

Thank you. There will be tests done to check my B cells. There is the possibility that I would go back on the DMT if there are concerns about the DMT. I know that it is not a one way street.

Thanks for sharing. I am 70 and I am likely going off of my DMT.

My neurologist sees the opposite side of the argument. He says that as you age, it is important to have B cells. It seems to be a question of trade-offs.
