i was recently diagnosed for sure February 2007. i do ok...just having trouble keeping compliant with the shots (copaxone)...I get attacks pretty frequently the scariest one was losing my sight (but thank God it came back!). For the most part i deal with it well...It's others that don't understand that fuels my frustration with this dreadful disease. But sometimes the headaches are just so horrible. I have had them for 2 straight years every day every hour every minute.
Treatments
Baclofen (Working / Worked) it did work...but now it doesn't work anymore...
Copaxone (Too Soon To Tell) can't tell yet
Pets (Working / Worked) Zieke is my service dog in training for balance and coordination issues he is amazing and brightens my day!
Prednisone (Somewhat Helpful) could NOT sleep
Provigil (Working / Worked) gave me energy without the jitters

My spine is kinda pushing against my lungs so i gotta breathe with my chest muscles... I can't lay down flat on my stomach or back. that hurts really bad. I really wish i would have caught it early to wear a brace and fix it and I can't see myself going through the surgery
Treatments
Chiropractic Adjustment (Working / Worked) felt soooooo good

Well i'm only 19 so the docs were surprised to find some clots in both of my legs after a long flight. I was admitted and treated. I guess I inherited this from my grandmother and 3 uncles who died from strokes..I am glad that we caught this early so i will not suffer the same fate, god bless them.
Treatments
Lovenox (Working / Worked) relieved the pain a lot
