I take Avonex.  Its once a week.  I dont know what MS drug is "best", they all have their ups and downs.  Avonex has side effects that are a pain at first, but they get better, and you have to do some tweaking with the time and day you take it to get it right.   I take mine at 8:45 on a Saturday night, go to bed around midnight, and sleep till noon on Sunday.  I wake up kinda sore and tired, but after a few hours Im almost normal.   \n\nWhatever you decide to do, just be on one of the MS drugs!  Without them, we are F'ed!        :)

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. MS can cause a variety of symptoms, including changes in sensation, visual problems, muscle weakness, depression, and difficulties with coordination and speech. Although many patients lead full and rewarding lives, MS can cause impaired mobility and disability in the more severe cases.

You don't see any results. \nTaking Avonex is like wearing your seat belt in your car. \nIf you drive a car and don't wear a seat belt, you might be in an accident and get hurt - or you might not be in an accident.\nIf you have MS and don't take treatment, you might have more frequent or more severe exacerbations - or you might not.\nThis might be the hardest part of MS - you just don't know.\n\nI was diagnosed in 1995 but didn't start treatment until 2000. The fact that your DR. has put you on Meds so soon after your diagnosis might be an indication that the Dr sees something you can't.\nDon't give up on Avonex just because you feel lousy. The side effects do get less severe over time, I promise. \n\nThe drug is offered in pre-mixed or you mix it. I started with the kind I mixed and then switched to pre-mixed thinking it would be better. Wrong! My husband hated the pre-filled syringes because it felt like he had to push the plunger really hard. And my side effects started all over again when I switched, and then AGAIN when I switched back. Right now, if I sleep through the night and don't wake up during the fever, I'm really OK after a shower and a cup of coffee the next morning.\n\nDon't forget to pre-medicate. Some say Tylenol, some say Advil. Try both and see what works for you.\nKeep a big jug of ice water (with a lid!!) by your bed for when you wake up thinking you could drink a gallon. I found it best to have water waiting for me handy because I'd wake up dying of thirst and not really be able to figure out how to go about taking care of it...\n\nI would say to you "Don't let MS become who you are" or "You might have MS, but it doesn't have you" but, I won't say those things because I would have wanted to slap the person who said them to me.  But, don't let this become an all-encompassing thing that rules all your decisions. You are still the same person you were 5 months ago (before you knew) and you can still do the same type things you did then - you just might want to be a little more careful if balance issues are a problem, and be wary of extreme heat.\n\nFor good literature, reaources, and connections, contact your local chapter of The National Multiple Sclerosis Society. They can hook you up.

I already totally support stem cell research, but I was really impressed by that news. I really hope a cure for MS and other spinal afflictions is in the very near future.\n\n\nGod Bless You

If you have severe, chronic muscle spasms baclofen works the best. At least I think so. I take it.

Lyrica (from Pfizer)seems to work very well. Fewer side effects than neurontin.

The latest treatment involves the use of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) inhibitors. Examples of this class of medicines are Enbrel (etanercept), Humira (adalimumab), and Remicade (infliximab).\n\nAlso here is the correct spelling: ankylosing spondylitis.

What Are Some Other Alternative/Complementary Therapy Options for MS?\n\nMassage. Many people with MS receive regular massage therapy to help relax and reduce stress and depression, which can exacerbate the disease. There is no evidence that massage changes the course of the disease. It is usually safe for people with MS to receive a massage, but if you have bone-thinning osteoporosis (usually as a result of your treatments) massage may be dangerous. Talk to your doctor first.   http://www.medicinenet.com/alternative_therapy_for_multiple_sclerosis/article.htm\n\nIt sounds like, with your doctor's blessing, it is something worth looking into.  If it is not beneficial, you can easily stop this type of therapy.  Good luck...
