I have heard that Sativex is working great for Neuropathic pain. Does anyone have information on the status of drug trials here in the US? Has anyone tried this drug? If so what was your experience? Does anyone know how I could get this drug? Thank you for any information you can provide. Fighter of...

There is a Neurologist in TN and one in TX prescribing Campath. I received Campath off Label in TN.

Thank you, That was a great help.

Well I started a great discussion. Interferon treatments were not working for me and my MS was progressing, that is why my Doctor recommended Campath. It did not work for me, however trial results have shown that it is 84% more effective than Rebif in those with RRMS. (not as effective for SPMS). I ...

Thanks for the information. I am going to speak to my neurologist about them. I think that it is the way I want to go.

Hello, I am seriously considering asking my Doctor about trying biogenetic hormone replacement therapy. Thank you for the wealth of information. Can you please tell me the following
1. Did your neurologist prescribe the hormone therapy for you?

There has been a lot of bus lately about biogenetic hormone therapy for age, and meapause symptoms. Well has anyone heard anything about it for MS symptoms? Most women improve when their hormone change during pregnancy. Therefore, it only makes since.

I believe 1 cm lesion is considered small. I guess this discussion shows that neurologist do not explain to patients where their lesions are and how their symptoms relate to where the lesion is in the brain. I just wanted to know how people where doing with Brainstem involement since that is where m...

Yes, I live in the USA. My physician is in Nashville, TN. From what I hear there is a Physician in TX that is also prescribing Campath.

My physician provided me two options for treatment Tysbri and Campath. One FDA approved and the other not. One covered by ins and the other possibly not. When I asked my physician which one he would choose for his family member if they were in my shoes he chose Campath. Are there any reports compair...

My Doctor has prescribed Campath in order to stabilize my MS? I have heard of only a few insurances that have paid for the treatment since it is not FDA approved at this point. If your insurance did approve Campath how did you do it? If your insurance did not approve Campath, how much were you out o...

I have experienced neurological symptoms since 2001. However, I did not receive my diagnosis until Dec. 2007. My MRI showed significant damage to my Brainstem. It does explain my tachycardia and neurogenic bladder.
Has anyone experienced Brainstem damage?
