    • Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
      Type: Seconday Progressive MS

      Although I had the symptoms for 32 years, I was not diagnosed with MS till I was 54 years old! After diagnosis, I went way downhill. I am still ambulatory with a cane, but my life has changed 100%, and I haven't worked since 2000. I would like to talk to other MS'ers and see how they cope. Walking is a major problem, as is standing past two minutes!

      Treatments

      Baclofen Working / Worked
      Tysabri Working / Worked
      I haven't had an exacerbation since April '05!! Of course, I was on Copaxone then. I started Tysabri in Oct. 06. I'm not sure of the side effects, but
      Baclofen Not Working
      Ive been on Baclofen for almost three years and cant tell if its working. I take 10 mg daily. My joints still hurt and I make a face when I arise from a laying or sitting position
