Avatar f tn Nevine, welcome to the MS forum. Wow, you live in Egypt--a place that I would love to one day visit! MS is very unpredictable, so it's hard to say how long an attack will last. First attacks will sometimes be very hard and last for several weeks or even months, but this is so variable. Also, attack times will even vary in the person themselves. My last attack only lasted a couple of days. However, I've had attacks that have lasted several months.

Avatar f tn a distribution somewhat atypical for multiple sclerosis and most likely due, in a patient of this age, to leukoaraiosis. The lack of patchy signal abnormality in the corpus callosum, cervical spainal cord and infratentorial compartment is also somewhat unusual for multiple sclerosis, although it remains within the differential diagnosis for the visualized lesions. Other etiologies such as vasculitis could also be considered.' So of course I looked up 'leukoaraiosis.

Avatar n tn 52 year old woman with a severe case of Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (SPMS). She is around an 8 on the Expanded Disability Status Scale and has been on multiple interferon-beta1a treatments, including Rebif and Avonex and nothing seems to be helping. What course of treatment would you recommend?
Avatar f tn Lipoma is found among people with Multiple sclerosis, especially people who are female, 50-59 old, also have Constipation, and take medication Avonex. We study 61 people who have Lipoma and Multiple sclerosis from FDA and social media. Find out below who they are, other conditions they have and drugs they take. You are not alone: join a support group for people who have Multiple sclerosis and Lipoma .. This is just one of many that have lipomas with MS . So there is definitely an association.

4313204 tn?1353971047 Interferon Drugs for Multiple Sclerosis (Avonex, Betaseron, Rebif)Interferon beta drugs help control the immune system, which helps control MS. Glatiramer Glatiramer helps prevent the body's immune system from attacking nerve fibers. Novantrone Novantrone slows disability and reduces the relapse rate. Tysabri Therapy Tysabri reduces the relapse rate, but is somewhat controversial. Aubagio Aubagio reduces the number of flares in adults with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis.

The trial, called TRANSFORMS, is the first of three studies of FTY720 to report. TRANSFORMS was a one year study involving 1,292 participants receiving either 0.5 mg or 1.25 mg FTY720 or interferon beta-1a (Avonex).

Avatar f tn Thank you for the reply! I did have intravenous 1000mg of corticosteroid 3 days for three weeks. But my condition was not improving much so the doc and I decided to try for another course. The doc said it would be dangerous to do a fourth course and even more so to try for another. So ever since the fourth course they put me on oral pred that's right now down to 1 pill a day.
Avatar n tn I find a source online that says in 2008 Avonex was Rs 9,000 per vial. Please call your Multiple Sclerosis Society of India (MSSI) and see what advice they can share. People on avonex have very good luck with slowing their disease, I hope you will do well on it, too!
