Hugged to death.

MS sucks. There’s varying degrees, though. I know folks that have it now, and ones that died from it.

Some of the treatments aren’t very nice. I knew one chap that was on Interferon, for life.

The modern treatments are much more effective than anybody had expected, Ocrecus went from something used in the last resort to standard care in less than a decade. I have no issue with it whatsoever though that’s not the case for everyone, and it’s now available as a 6 month injection rather than a 8+ hour infusion thankfully. The older drugs were unbelievably bad (blindness, infection, you name it), but Ocrecus has been very tame in comparison. Can’t get vaccinated for Measles (and have 0 immunity) but that’s my only limitation really.
