Hello former Braintalkers and current Neurotalkere!

I see Sally is still here. How about Lady Express? Others?

So, I am in my first major flare in over ten years. My legs are week and feel like they want to cramp. swimming, surfing and standing more than 5 minutes can result in shin cramps (ouch).

Saw doc who took blood and will do MRI. He rx'd Baclofen, Vitamin D, CoEnzymeQ, B12 sublingual, B6, Magnesium, carnitine, Biotin today. Geesh!

If MRI has lesions, he might rec THE DRUGS. The bad batch of Avonex in 2004 nearly killed me, so I am leery.

What's the story on the new oral pills re side effects, effectiveness, safety?
I stopped following MS boards and news several years ago and it seems there are several new drugs? Thanks for any help!
