Hi I'm not a doctor and wouldn't pretend to be but a very clever doctor did put me on the acyclovir.

Avonex and Valtrex
Hi I'm new to your forum. I was diagnosed with MS 14 years ago and my symptoms were double vision, loss of control of left leg and extreme fatigue. Originally I was treated with Prednisolone to get back on an even keel but clearly it was not a long term solution. Over the next 2 years I became subst...
