This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Hi everyone:

Does anyone have any information on progressive-relapsing MS? Specifically typical initial symptoms and MRI results? I read somewhere that it attacks the neurons rather than the myeline. Any additional information would be helpful.

Thanks!

Thanks -- I think even from this small thread, the message is -- it could be a hell of a lot worse.

It gives me hope that medication like these plus a strict diet, exercise, and supplements might actually get me through this for a prolonged amount of time.

Which drug in the pipeline proposes the most promise?

Personally, I wish Rituxan would become available for MS patients. I am willing to take a bit of risk, although Tysabri seems way too risky for me.

Fascinating -- thanks for the information.

I am still in limbo-land, but I had elevated liver enzymes during my first recognizable flare. The doctor re-ran the test after the flare, and the levels were normal.

Interestingly I had pancreatitis when I was little from an adverse reaction on antibiotics I was taking. I just left a voicemail with me doctor to ask if my insulin levels have been checked, and if not, if they could please order the labs for me.

Fascinating. Thanks for the information.

I figure they will send me in for a LP after this next appointment. I hope I can get on treatment soon.

Hi everyone, Thank you in advance for your time. I am experiencing Uhthoff's Phenomenon (a bit of optic neuritis, tremors, and fatigue out of the shower) and other clear cut MS symptoms (numbness, cognition, slurred words). I am also fully in limbo-land in terms of a diagnosis (clean MRI of the spin...

I should say that the MRI was of my cervical, thoracic, and brain, all with and without contrast.

Hi everyone: I am a 26 year old male, and I just received word that my MRI was returned normal. To my surprise they indicated there are no lesions. I am at the place where I have been having intense MS symptoms for about a month. I've had everything from tremors, loss of cognition, speech difficulti...

Presuming Fumaderm is nearly identical to what will be shipped with BG-12, has there been a substantial number patients taking this medicine receiving PML? I can't seem to get a straight answer.

Thanks!

Do we know if people who test positive for JCV will be be at more risk to adverse effects on BG-12?

Thanks so much,

Brian
