    Moderate (for relapse MS (exacerbation))
  • Side effects
    None
  • Adherence
    Sometimes
  • Burden
    Not at all hard to take
Advice & Tips: Doesn't need to be formal, sophisticated, or to anyone's "rule book"....I just use visualization techniques to relax, imagine the myelin around my nerves healing itself, and briefly retreat from the fast-paced daily routine. The principal advantage is getting to intensely imagine yourself getting and feeling better. Secondary benefit is relaxation generally.
