What is the state of an infectious cause of (at least some types of) MS? And by that I mean from the research world.
Why do I ask? The Antegren approval!
My wife is RRMS. Been on avonex, and it's not working. Also, the side effects have never diminished and are intollerable (and belive me she is one tough b*tch so it's not like she can handle it). The last neuro trip was coincidentally last ...

Post subject: Keppra for stiffness? Posted: Thu Nov 25, 2004 10:50 am |

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has had experience of using Keppra (levetiracetam) for controlling stiffness. My Neuro has suggested I start using this to see if it will help with the stiffness problems I am having.
If you are using it what dosage are you taking?
Thanks,
Andy
