Age is relative. If you are still RRMS, then I would suggest getting tested for the JCVirus, to see if you qualify and it's safer? for you to Try Tisabri. That would be pretty aggresive treatment.

If you are SPMS OR PPMS, forget the DMDs, as they are useless and just have your Doc/Neuro treat your symptoms.....and maybe take LDN(low dose naltrexone) for symptom management and, I believe, slow the progression of your MS.

That's all I take now, LDN and Prozac, to scare the doom and gloom away.

Good wishes for you in whatever treatment YOU choose or not choose. Do your internet homework and ask us here...we support you and your choice.

PS...Do not have the LP, unless the Doc suspects something other than MS. Just not necessary and invasive.
