I know I should probably quit reading these posts, but for some reason I can't. Plus, at this point I am driving myself a bit crazy researching all of the drugs that are currently in trial. I know that my neuro mentioned rituxan as a possibiltiy to me, but it scares me after all of my other reactions.

Someone needs to come and turn off my computer.

Have you tried any of the other therapies, like Estriol, or LDN? Will your neuro even consider letting you try them? (I think Estriol is still in trials, and treating MS with LDN is still currently an off-label use of the drug)
