Acthar

Has anyone ever tried this? I did a steroid treatment back in July and all of my MS symptoms have calmed down except the optic neuritis. My doc prescribed Acthar injections, 1x a day for 5 days and said it would more than likely help my eye sight come back. I have never heard of this medication and was just wondering if anyone has tried it, liked it, hated it, etc.

Thanks for the help! :D

I haven't heard of it before now. However, here's a link to their website and also a like to the pdf of the doctor's prescribing information for Acthar.
