DXed PPMS 2003 after a year (2002) of being called RR so could at least ttry DMDs. Nothing helped of course. Tried Novantrone - made me throw up and didn't help. On the list to be tested to be in clinical trial for Fingolimod.
Maybe it'll help, maybe not. (slowing progression) Anyone try Rituxin?? That interests me.

I was diagnosed with PPMS in February, 2003.
I don't take any medication for my MS. I take Flexeril for my spasms, Neurontin for my pain, and sub-lingual B12 for my B12 deficiency. I also have a peripheral neuropathy and consequently it is difficult for doctors to figure out what symptoms are attributed to MS and what symptoms are caused by my neuropathy.

DX in 1976...in remission until 1992..DX again RRMS. A few years later I tried Avonex for 7 months and Copaxone for 10 months....progressing right along. Reached SPMS around 2001/02. Progressed myself onto a walker, then scooter. In 2003 I started LDN and immediately stopped progressing. And here I is..
I'm doing Ok. I took Paxil and now Prozac for Anxiety and depression and LDN and that's it. I have a little spasticity and some weakness in legs and arms ( mostly on my left side), no chronic pain...just the usual aches and tingles. My biggest complaint is that I grew old with this @#$#^ MS and that was not in my plans.

1979....dx'd with RRMS
1993.....2nd REPORTED exacerbation; still RRMS 1996.....Copaxone; stopped after 4 months due to lots of the immediate reactions. Avonex next for 3+ years with a Methotrexate chaser (I was actually on the MTX 6 mos. before starting the Avonex. Glutton for punishment that I am, I tried the Copax AGAIN in 1999 and lasted 11 mos. + 2 more weeks (almost a year) before telling my neuro that I'd rather be dead then take one more shot of that stuff! Took a rest, but in between resting I tried Novantrone and a couple of Tysabri infusions. I progressed right through it all. Now I'm on Betaseron, but it's making me feel like **** even WITH meds to combat reactions. I'll see my neuro in about 10 days. We're gonna be having another one of "our talks" He still writes me as RRMS so I can get meds if I want to try them, but we've discussed it privately and he admitted that I am now progressive. Big surprise, huh? |
