Hello, I was wondering what other take to help with their MS. What helps, what doesnt help, ect... Here is what I am currently taking;
One-A-Days Womens Multivitamin, B-12(bottle reads 'promotes energy metabolism& nervous system health', Provigil(for engery), Gabapentin(for pain..doesnt seem to help AT ALL), and my once a week shot, Avonex. So what you think? Any advice, suggestions? I have not been feeling good and need some help. Take care! -Jen Posted on 05/15/08, 07:05 pm |

Hello Jen I started out taking avonex for 2 years and had to switch to ribif 44mcg three times it seemed to slow the progression of my disabilities. You should check out a web site called patients like me. It has alot of good info about what kind of medications -that people with MS are taking. Take care Greg

Well, all I can say about B12 is that by injection it goes directly into your bloodstream.
I get an injection Tues. & do sublingual on w/ends as well. I think the B12 is why I've stayed in remission for many years & I have had some small improvements as well. Never done steriods & don't have a neuro. Bye for now, Lorna
