In this episode, we dive deep into the world of multiple sclerosis (MS) medications, focusing particularly on Copaxone. Once considered a breakthrough, we explore why the promised benefits may not outweigh the risks. Copaxone is expensive, with unclear mechanisms and significant side effects, such as skin issues, liver problems, and more.
We also discuss the emotional journey of those with MS, questioning whether the financial and emotional toll of these medications is worth it. With personal stories and insights, we address the importance of balancing treatment with self-care, relaxation, and emotional health, pointing out how these aspects can significantly impact MS progression.
Join us as we challenge the pharmaceutical narrative and emphasize the need to focus on one's well-being, urging listeners to consider both medical and holistic approaches to managing MS.
