The above website has 16 sections (bottom of page has the section numbers) and covers just about every question ever asked by men and women who want to know about MS, its symptoms, the unknown course, and the treatments. It is updated as of 7/07. The only thing commented on by one reader, who is a nurse, was the fact that Tysabri was not mentioned and she claimed that it was the only thing that gave her back her "legs".
With so many unknowns and variables I find it appropriate that it discusses all aspects of the disease where the pros and cons of taking or not taking medications are considered.
It also states (quote) .... ..."so keep in mind that it can be hard to tell whether medication is helping. Multiple sclerosis is a disease with spontaneous remissions, which means that your condition can improve on its own, without any treatment. Just because your symptoms improve after treatment does not mean that a treatment is working...(unquote). . "
This is not to suggest that anyone taking or considering taking the appropriate medications should think twice about doing so. You should always be guided by the expert advice of your treating physician. What works for one person may not work for another.
