This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

hi MrBarlow , i did not get what u mean ? can u please explain'
thanks

hi... have u asked the main big pharmacies? the health ministery? also, there is a Society that was formed 2 yrs ago, called friends of MS... try calling this number: 050 5193334 . her name is Haleemeh al Bloushi, she is a volunteer in this society.... the head of this society is dr. Nizar, he works...

to Cheerleeder,
i took valtrex for a week and the symptoms of shingles disapeared completely.. that was a month ago.

so, i am confused now, why do u suggest that i have to stay on it?

anti viral course finished in 7 days.. shingles disapeared completely..

dont know if this info might help, but i am taking Tegretol 200 at night, to reduce the funny feelings in legs.. i have been taking it for the last ten yrs..
regards

Luckily, I am tolerating the above medicine very very well.. Today is the third day, and no side effects (x ,,, crossing my finger)

4 more days to go.

must conquer this stupid shingles

My dermatologist just prescribed for me Valtrex (valaciclovir)500mg.. i have ms. Anyone there took this medicine??

Hi again mrbarlow,
sorry to be such a nag. but is your friend a member in Thisisms?

Hi mrbarlow.. do pharmacies sell copaxone in Saudi Arabia? if yes, do they ask for a Saudi prescription, also can u please let me know how much does it cost? This can be very helpfull. I have a daughter and a brother who live in Riadh, they can get me the medicine, instead of getting it from Spain. ...

Hi. I live in UAE, and need to know if anyone else is there on Copaxone. It is not sold there and have to fly it in.

I am sure it was a frightening experience..
I read once a tip regarding injection, and am using it now with my copaxone. Tilt the needle a bit, so as to inject in a slight angle, and not vertical on skin... It makes the needle insertion so smooth..
good luck

Copaxone is not available in the Middle East, so i buy my copaxone from madrid and have it delivered to me by a dear dear friend who happens to travel to Abu Dhabi every 3 months.

But, could i be paying much less in Madrid? From what I read in the forum, the US prices are higher.

This is music to my ears..
Every month I pay around $1300 for copaxone, and it is not covered by insurance... So, the day when I can buy the cheap version will be a national holiday for me.

hi, what is CNS?
