I still haven't heard anything from my doctor. I really don't want to treat this flare, and try and come out of it naturally, maybe eating alot of natural anti-inflammatory foods? I just hate doing drugs, they turn me into a horrible person, and then takes quite some time after I'm off the drug to get back to normal. This flare is definitely getting worse though so I am not sure if the no drug route is even an option. Everyday I am more and more numb. It seems the numbness is spreading and water from the shower is a horrible sensation right now.

GRRRR to MS.

Here is the good news about the price:

You can have your neurologist negotiate the price down for you. My neurologist did (and said it was a common practice to do so). My cost was $500, and that was without insurance. After further negotiations because of my lack of insurance at the time, the absolute final price was only $250. Furthermore, I know others who have reported even lower out-of-pocket costs.

Try the negotiations route.
