Acth
Your drug didn't help my MS attack. Too, steroids did nothing for my MS attack either. In time, I was prescribed ACTH for 7 days (intramuscular shots). It immediately made my MS settle down and I felt 100% better both physically & emotionally.
You want to take Calcium w/vit. D every day while on this drug. Zantac 30 minutes before your shot to protect your stomach. You keep ACTH refrigerated; sat out 30 minutes to warm before your shot. ACTH is gotten through NORDS and will be shipped to your pharmacy 'if' memory serves me correctly. I had no bad side effects from this drug.
You can go to the National MS Society's main site and search ACTH. Go to their 'glossary' and look for the definition of ACTH.
ACTH does not slow MS but does lift your attack. It was often given in the 1980s.
Take care.
