*Many do choose to start a DMD immediately, but many do not.  Also, you have
to remember that the CRAB drugs do not repair existing damage, but are meant
to slow the progression of the disease.  It also depends on what type an
individual has.  If it is Primary Progressive MS, there is no evidence that
the DMD's will work for them, and so as a rule, they take nothing.  *

*I have many friends who were unable to get a clear diagnosis at the onset
of symptoms.  Their neuro's advised them to start a DMD, but they waited.
Would there have been any difference in the progression of their disease if
they hadn't waited?   Maybe, maybe not. That is an individual issue.*
