When I was first diagnosed and in really bad shape I was given ACTH. It helped at the time and I was using it about every 3 months.

Later when I had turned SPMS it no longer did a thing for me and I haven't used it since 1987.

There are side affects with this drug such as acne, water retention, mood disorders and scaling skin. If you are in bad shape it is probably worth your trouble to use it and see if it helps you.

I also have osteoporosis now which may be from using the steroid too many times, so you need to choose your poison as wisely as possible.
