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).
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.
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?
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!

But it should be possible to get treatment in Poland? I found a document from 2014 with treatment recommendations in Poland and it said: "All patients diagnosed with acute and chronic hepatitis should be subject to treatment, irrespective of fibrosis stage and existence of comorbidities".
If you treat abroad you would have to pay for treatment and the meds are very expensive.
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).
SAID I HAD MS A LONG TIME. THEY LOOKED BACK AT ALL MY MEDICAL RECORDS. I WAS PARALIZED IN 1999 IN LEFT LEG, TOOK 18 MONTHS TO BE ABLE TO WALK A LITTLE. ABOUT A YEAR LATER I GOT PARALIZED IN RIGHT LEG IT TOOK A SHORTER TIME FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO WALK AGAIN. I HAD BELL PALSY IN 2000. IN MY FACE. THEY PUT ME ON CAPAXONE INJECTIONS. THE NEW DOCTOR TOOK ME OFF OF MEDICINE. I HAVE BEE SO NERVOUS ABOUT ALL THIS. I'M NOW AN OLDER PERSON. WHAT COULD I HAVE IF NOT MS? I FELT CAPAXONE HELPED ME.
I had this also was told I sit too much at work n needed to stretch more it got worse over time until I would awake in the night in excruciating burning pain I would even have to check my skin to make sure I didn’t actually have any burns eventually it kept getting worse and to the point it just stopped completely and I probably should’ve listened to the stretching advice because now for the last 11 years I have no feeling in about 8“ x 4“ area on my thigh
I cannot advise you how to get into a clinical trial in USA, but I am in an oral drug trial in England and I have kept a detailed journal of my journey and all the appointments if you look me up! This will give you some idea of the commitment and time involved..allthough of course every trial is different and will have a different protocol.
