Has she been to the MD? There are many things that can and do help. PT, or occupational therapy can help loosen those muscles. muscle relaxers are a common drug many of us take that have MS. A walker is a good thing for her if she is so unstable. Having someone help her work on muscle tone, and muscle control may help. Since she isnt on one of the Disease modifying drugs (DMDs) like Copaxone, avonex, rebif, or betaseron I am assuming (i hate to assume) that she is not in the RRMS or relapsing remitting MS club. Most MDs will not prescribe this type of drug for PPMS or primary progressive MS and sometimes not for SPMS, which many patients transition from relapsing remitting over to SPMS as a form of disease progression. PPMS is a harder disease to find treatments for.

LDN has shown some fantastic relief for so many. its a shame you cant find it there. Perhaps with the help of an MD you can do mail order thru to the USA. If he writes her a prescription, perhaps she can deal with a mail order pharmacy.

Thank you for being so supportive of your mum. give her a hug from us.
