      Type: Relapsing-remitting MS

      I woke up on June 7th and my left leg was numb. On June 8th my stomach and back were numb. On June 11th, I went to the doctor. They did a cat scan on my lower back and found that I had a ruptured disc. I was treated for my back injury. June 15th my right leg went numb. Then the end of June my legs changed to horrible burning pain. I started taking neurontin to help with that and that did help some. I just kept getting worse and worse. I was finally dx with MS Aug. 27th 2007

      Treatments

      Flomax Working / Worked
      Seems to be helping with my bladder--No longer taking because I have improved--YEAH!!!
      Neurontin Working / Worked
      I have to take 300mg every 5 hours to keep the burning nerve pain tolerable. Due to improvement I only take 300mg twice a day--YEAH!!!!
      Physical Therapy Working / Worked
      Helped me know what I need to do to improve my exercise routine.
      Prednisone Working / Worked
      Yuck!!! I was in a dark hole and couldn't find my way out.
      Prozac Working / Worked
      Seems to help with depression and fatigue somewhat
      Rebif Not Working
      The injections hurt and about 3 days after I have a large red mark. The mark stays there for a long time. Had to quit do to skin reactions getting worse. Found out that I had 3 more lesions in my spine in the last year so Rebif wasn't cutting it.
      Tysabri Working / Worked
      First treatment on Oct. 6th, 08 Hope it works!!! I'm will have my 11th infusion this month and I can honestly say that I have improved so much that I am applying for a job!!! YEAH!!!!!!
