multiple sclerosis treatment in india

Dear Maria, I am not familiar with treatments available in India. But worldwide the accepted treatment would be for you to have a disease modifying drug - at present there are four standard ones - Copaxone, Rebif, Avonex, and Betaseron. All of these are injections. They may or may not help to slow the progrression of your disease. There are new drugs beings worked with too - one is Tysabri, which is an intravenous drug that is given monthly. You might ask about that.

t available in the US. Was your wife given a choice of treatment options? Here is the US, the first line of treatment are the CRAB drugs: Copaxone, Rebif, Avonex, and Betaseron. Other medications are used (like the Solu-Medrol) during attacks, and to help with symptoms (like Provigil for fatigue). There are other medications that are used when the CRAB drugs aren't working, but have risks and side effects (like Tysabri).

Please go for EMG of muscles and MRI of brain and spine. There are some diseases that cause stiffness of muscles like Fibromyalgia, Multiple sclerosis and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Please consult a physician and neurologist for complete examination, diagnosis and treatment. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!

I wanted to know if there are any programs or aid offered to people who are not from the US but who want to get treatment in the US for multiple sclerosis. This is important in terms of financial considerations and access to the best care. Thanks in advance for your replies.

my sister (24) was diagnosed Multiple Sclerosis in 2010, responded to steroid. now she suffered sudden & complete loss of vision in her left eye. she has been put on SOLUMEDROL. please suggest any available treatment modalities world over ? chances of return of vision ??

Jen is right, but that doesn't mean that 30% of YOUR progression might have been prevented. That's a general statistic, meaning that large groups of people with MS have been studied. Some use the DMDs; some don't. (Or used and didn't.) On the whole, DMD users suffer (suffered) 30% fewer relapses, which are equated for this purpose to disease progression. Some of these people no doubt suffered no relapses, while others suffered many.

I'm off the shots right now, because I have no money for the co-pay. So I can understand your concern - but I had relapses while on Copaxone, too. Your description of pain that circles around makes me think you might have a lesion in your back as well - I would definitely go to the neurologist first.

He had an MRI of the brain that showed multiple foci of T2 and FLAIR hyperintensity in the white matter of both cerebral hemispheres including approximately 5 small lesions in the periventricular white matter, lovated at the callosal sptal margin and oriented perpendicular long axis of the lateral ventricles. THere are 2 Flair hyperintense lesions along the undersurface of the copus callosum. Focus of T2 hyperintensity is seen in the deep white matter of the right frontal lobe.

It is possible that I had/have undiagnosed multiple sclerosis, and then when I started treatment the interferon kept the MS from progressing?

” Wraith, who is working on a vaccine for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, investigated the MS-like disease in the various galanin transgenic mice developed in the Wynick lab. Professor Wraith said: “The results were really remarkable: rarely do you see such a dramatic effect as this. Mice with high levels of galanin just didn’t develop any signs of disease. We have a lot more to do to figure out how this works but the results are extremely promising.

In the past I have worked for multiple families from India, as a nanny. I learned a lot- how to cook Indian food, and lots of great things about their culture. One of the things I learned about was turmeric. It's used in traditional Indian medicine for many things. One thing I learned about is that it is anti-inflammatory. So when I started on my most recent flare (the one I'm still dealing with) I started to research Curcumin and MS. There is a lot of info out there.

being done in India and a person would be leaving themselves open for this drug resistant superbug by being treated in a medical setting in India and in turn putting others at risk by spreading this superbug. I guess in the long run it's up to the individual but I am happy that the possible downside of this treatment is finally being made public.

One of them said it is all due to ur anxiety ( Cause i do not have any bladder problems and dizziness, numbness tingling all is due to anxiety) but one said its Multiple Sclerosis+ anxiety. My MRI and EEG were clear. Currently i have high frequency of muscle tingling through out my body only when i am lying on bed plus i see double vision of any statement especially ( white in colour) on TV and laptop. Is it MS? Should I start taking Med for MS or just let it be and hope it will go away?

We'll soon be launching a Multiple Sclerosis Tracker, which will allow members to track symptoms and treatments related to Multiple Sclerosis. Please leave us a comment if you're interested in this tracker and we'll notify you when it's available.

I am little confused as the symptoms you explained I have only one (pricking sensation all over the body) and that visible only in winters. I think multiple sclerosis is too early to diagnose. I hope you have understood what I am trying to explain.

Premier Robert Ghiz said. P.E.I. Premier Robert Ghiz said he has heard Islanders' calls to investigate an experimental treatment for MS.

Other causes could be brain tumour or Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis is a demyelinating disease that affects the nerves of the brain and spine. The symptoms are- brain fog, memory problems, numbness and tingling, headaches, muscle weakness and many others. Please go for the CT scan. MRI is more detailed and accurate. Please consult a neurologist for the diagnosis and treatment. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!

We have done ultrasound about 15 times & CT scan many times, only this is diagnosed. ones She has been operated for kidney stones also. I need advise what to do? Doctors says we should not go for surgery until it is not very serious.But she always has pain and has to take pain killer. She became dibitic too. She is not loosing weight. Is there any other treatment than surgery?

I have had RR multiple sclerosis since I was 10 ish diagnosed (finally) in 2008. Had routine MRi of head and neck last month, everything is stable for 2 years now. Thank you Tysabri! My question is the impression of my mri stated T1 and T2 disease burden is at least moderate ( written for head and cervical MRI). Also JCV negative this whole time can I stay on Tysabri indefintely as long as I am negative?

Hi, I'm new to this forum and just had a couple of questions regarding possible MS diagnosis. In July of 09 I had a MRI of my brain which showed a left frontal lesion measuring 1.4 x 1.2 x 1.4 cm. I had another in August 09 which measured the lesion at 1.0 x o.6 x 1.2 cm. I also had a third one in August 09 which showed another decrease in size. (sorry don't have those results in hand).

I had an MRI that showed one lesion in my brain, a hemangioma in the thoratic region and some mild degeneration in my cervical spine. I have been feeling ill since Feb 09 and as my condition continues I think I can recall feeling some of these symptoms as far back as 15 years old. I have has pnemonia 2 times and had HPV when I was a teen. I am 30 years old now and have 2 wonderful children and an amazing husband. My question is where do I go from here? What kind of doctors should I be seeing?
