What type of medicine are you taking for your Multiple Sclerosis? - multiple sclerosis more condition_symptoms wiki answers
My brother, now 24 years old, has multiple sclerosis (MS). He went from 2-3 times a week jogging, playing basketball every day for the celebration of his car just above. He can not walk more than 5 feet without relying on someone or something. This kills me! He had mild symptoms of MS at first, but once he started the medicine is worse than I thought.
I just wanted what medicines to ask MS patients? My brother told me that is the wife of Mitt Romney, she and his family have entered into remission after she began, "Oriental" of drugs. I do not know if it's true or not. If someone with multiple sclerosis what kind of doctor I can not do, and for how long the first results will be seen? Please respond should only patients with MS
If you have a story about how they overcome and made the treatment of MS in the right direction, please share your story. Your reply would be appreciated! Thank you!

I'm sorry for your brother. What I can say is that MS makes all different. To stop drugs at their advance continues. Although I can not speak directly to their members (I do not know what it was) can do, I tell you, me (I have RRMS), and my successes.
I had an episode of optic neuritis, tremor and weakness of certain muscles of the arm. Who does not see much, but if you saw my MRI, both in a period of six months, my brain into a different story. It looked like a Swiss cheese. And the second MRI showed a significant progress.
Time to start medication. CRAB drugs (Copaxone, Rebif, Avonex and Betaferon ®) is essentially the same. The differences between them are dosing frequency, location of shots, and side effects. I decided on Copaxone. It boasts the fewest side effects, but more frequent dosing (every day).
While my symptoms improved over the next few years, but the whole story. My MRI showed one years later, tIf he has no new lesions, no active lesion, and if I become less. I think I have the right medication.
But if you know you're on the wrong medication? Drugs are usually about winning six weeks in order to effectiveness. Then my doc would say if you have two or more households over a period of six months or an adverse analytical brain, it may be time to change your medication. Each of the formulations of the works a little differently and everyone reacts differently to them. In the case of his brother when he started his medication, he was already so far, with his illness. What you remember about medicines do not heal, multiple sclerosis. They have only slow its progression and to less severe exacerbations and had a shorter duration.
Neurologist his brother work with him and together with all the evidence (symptoms, neurological examination, MRI, etc.), will decide whether it is time to try a new drug.
Good luck, and I want both.
