As many of you are already aware, I took a medication vacation in early 2008 without the consult of my medical practitioners and without the knowledge of my family.
The results were almost catastrophically negative and there is still some residual damage, which probably will never repair until we (Medical science) finds a way to reverse the damages caused to the Central nervous System and Myelin Sheath.
Since my "error" in judgment ( my experiment ) I have preached the dangers of taking a Hiatus or a vacation from prescribed medication and want to again allow you to read what I did as well as the follow-up stories.
There are thousands of new registrants to my website, and/or who read this blog since I wrote these stories earlier in 2008, and for these people as well as those who have already forgotten, you can read each by clicking on the links shown below in dated order::

Read each as you have time, then share with others with MS or with any other serious illness requiring Medication Vigilance.

Hi Stu,
I have read your article about going off your meds.
Just in time to help me with my decision. I have been thinking of it for some time now.
I think that after reading your article I have decided to hold off for a while. It is still something I may explore down the road. I feel I have to get more info under my belt before I make that decision. Your news letters and information is very helpful to me in learning so much more.
Thanks for sharing
Bonnie
I remember reading your stories earlier last year and I too was contemplating taking a break. But heck, when I read your story and what it did to transgress, I said no way..
Now and since, I look forward to doing my daily shots...
