What type of Medicine are you taking for your Multiple Sclerosis?
My brother who is now 24 yrs old has Multiple Sclerosis (MS). He went from jogging 2-3 times and week, playing basketball everyday to barely holding his self up. He can’t walk more than 5 feet without leaning on someone or something. This kills me! He had minor symptoms of MS in the beginning but as soon as he started taking his medicine, it got a lot worst I believe.
I just wanted to ask what medicine do you MS patients have? My brother said Mitt Romney’s wife has it and hers have went into remission after she started taking “eastern” medication. I don’t know if that’s true or not. If someone that has MS can tell me what type of medicine there doctor has them using and after what time period did they start seeing results? Please ONLY MS patients need reply
If you have a story on how you overcame it or how a treatment effected your MS in a good way, please share your story. Your reply would be appreciated! Thanks!

There is no specific treatment. Corticosteriod drugs may hasten recovery from an attack. Physiotherapy, drugs to relieve muscle spasm, & walking aids help to maintain mobility.

After I was diagnosed with MS, I took Copaxone.
My symptoms changed every four or five months while
I was on it and I had no energy. Then I started taking Low Dose Naltrexone(LDN) and I got my life back. I am now able to work a part time job and work out at the gym two to three times a week. You can read all about this drug on ldn.org. I certainly hope your brother’s condition improves. My heart goes out to you. Please give your brother my best wishes.

Greetings! I tried copaxone and avonex they made me feel like death. I have been on LDN (low dose naltrexone for 31/2 months and I like it much better http://www.lowdoesnaltrexone.org and I also take the klenner protocol (thiamin B1 and le b12 injections daily) the ldn stops you from progressing the klenner repairs the damaged nerves and you can recover. I have tried it all trust me these work the rest are horrible and expensive. Barbara

I in addition to my buddies have been reviewing the great items found on the blog and then the sudden came up with a terrible feeling I never thanked you for those tips. Those ladies happened to be absolutely warmed to study them and already have certainly been taking pleasure in these things. Appreciate your really being very considerate and also for deciding on some good topics millions of individuals are really needing to learn about. Our sincere apologies for not expressing gratitude to you earlier.
