Default Pregnant and needing help.

I have here a question from an Aussie MSer (non member) who has appealed to me for help, and I'm unable to answer her questions. I'm wondering if anyone here can please help me out.

And no.....it's not me that's pregnant, pretending to be asking for a friend!

This lass is 29 years old, recently diagnosed with MS and 10 weeks pregnant which limits the medications that she's prepared to try.

She states that the majority of her body is numb, but has now developed "spasming" or "electric shocks" that started going down her spine whenever she moved. These spasms now shoot down her chest and into the front of her legs.

Her Neuro prescribed Gabopentin which didn't work, so the dose was increased but still without effect. She's now being weaned off the Gabopentin with no other medication to be prescribed except for a daily dose of oral Predisone.

Her question is : "I'm wondering if you know of anyone who has experienced these symptoms and what they did, or from anyone who has had a relapse while pregnant."

Any ideas would be glady appreciated, thank you.
