Avatar m tn 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.

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.
