medications or alternatives to slow progression of ms

[denice8214]

Due to onging panceatitis, I am no longer on interferons and most other ms drugs(steroid infusions and such). Are there any medications available to indivuals with this issue? I am now developing new lesions mostly  in the spine.

This is really something a Neurologist would have to answer. It is very complicated when the liver or pancreas is involved.

Hi there,

Welcome! Have you tried the copaxone?
I'm so sorry about the increase in lesions. Docs ruling out the tysabri too due to the pancreas?

Thanks for joining us,

I am sorry to hear about your ongoing pancreatitis.  I recently was searching the internet for IVIg treatment because my neuro said he wanted to try it on me.  While it is very expensive, it is a treatment for MS and may be an option for you.  Here is a link, in case you want to know more:
