I have had an MS diagnosis for 10 years. I was on Avonex (an MS drug) for several years but decided to stop because I was stable and the flu like side effects were just too much for me.

I now have learned I have a low CD-57 (41) and have started to take Cumanda and Samento (alternating every 2 weeks). When I took a break from Samento before switching back to Cumanda my feet and legs ached very badly for several days. It was quite reminescent of the Avonex side effects I used to get (but then my entire body would ache).

I am just wondering if any one else has had a similar experience.

your best bet is to post this on this alternative MS website. Notice LymeDX in title.
