    • Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
      Type: Relapsing-remitting MS

      I am 38 years old and work for the Chicago Public School system as a High School Instructional Coach. I was formally diagnosed with MS at the age of 31 but my medical history shows episodes dating back to when I was 18. I'm married to a supportive husband and my life is much better now than it was two years ago when I couldn't walk and lost vision. I switched from Betaseron to Copaxone and things are looking up.

      Treatments

      Acupuncture Working / Worked
      If you haven't tried it, I reccomend you do. I feel great afterward!
      Betaseron Working / Worked
      It seemed to be working for and then stopped after 6 years.
      Copaxone Working / Worked
      I'm a new person on Copaxone. I hate the shots but like being able to walk now.
      Physical Therapy Working / Worked
      I have a trainer I work with from my home. I notice a difference in my muscle tone and strength. It's amazing how much has changed from these workouts.
      Prednisone Working / Worked
      Solumedrol Working / Worked
      It works wonders and I have no side effects, even after a five-day infusion.
