Many think that NSD will stop fusion.

Nobody can say IF you will fuse,
or WHEN you will fuse,
or how much you will fuse....

seems that since those are so unknown in everybody's life, there's really no way to determine that what you are doing (whether drugs, alternative therapies, or diet) is the reason for not fusing or for fusing.

It's like this beast has a mind of it's own no matter what we do or don't do about it. If NSD is taking away your pain and disease activity, then stick to it!

There are new studies coming out that are contradicting research even on medications.. some say they stop fusion, some say they speed it up.. some say they do nothing but mask the pain. So does anybody really know anymore? because nobody can predict what will happen for each of us.

some fuse quickly
some never fuse
some have pain and no fusion
some have no pain and fusion
some have lots of pain and partial fusion
....etc..etc...etc..
