As I read these comments about MC I havent read any that speaks to the non physiological effects it has on its victims. MC isnt just stiffness, fatigue, pain, muscle twitching and muscular weakness. It is greater than that. It is a constant psychological and emotional drain. It deprives us of so many things that make life wonderful. A life lived without quality is a life not lived. When treating this disease I think doctors should recognize that these facets of the disease can be just as debilitating as the physiology of the disease. I think the whole person approach should be used. Most doctors just want to give you a drug to try and thats the scope of the treatment. It is far greater than that. You must be very strong mentally and emotionally to cope with this disease, with or without drug treatment. A MC sufferer needs a sense of well being while living with this disease so treatment should not stop at medication. Educate yourself about the disease and treatments to become mentally stronger. Support of friends and family will help with emotional issues. We have a long way to go, but there are ways of mediating the effects of this disease.
