I was on IV and oral...I seem to get too many side effects from the oral, so my old neuro didn't prescribe them anymore. I was doing monthly IVSM, and I would feel better for about 2 wks, then the sxs would slowly return.
My new neuro told me no more; he feels it doesn't help the sxs and that it fries the brain. I don't agree with him, but I'm at the end of a flare that lasted about 5 months with pain and spasms.
If it helps, I'd go ahead and use 'em...and everyone knows we're all cuter with those cabbage patch cheeks...
