Thank you for taking a moment to post your experience, it helps to know what others have tried and expeirenced. I find that doctor's are very influenced by certain drug company and reps. I have seen it first hand, they will buy the office tv's or lunch, computers, etc. So it seems our system is tilted toward pushing some drugs and not so much the plain old ones used for years. I started counting and right now I am taking about 17 pills a day. That's nuts...and they (PCP and Rheumy)are trying to get me to take Enbrel...for my arthritis which is NOT good for people with MS like problems..per my neurologist. I see my Nuero on Tuesday and I plan on asking which drugs to keep and which to give up...My primary told me they have drugs that can halt MS? Is he reading something I am not? Everything I read says you can slow it down, but no cure.
