Welcome back Sunflour, it's good to "see" you. Please join in here on the board too -- quite a few of us can't "chat" anymore.

Welcome Clark! Nice to meet you, but sorry it's here on the MS board. It sounds like you're having a flare (relapse) and is probably why you were diagnosed. I'm not sure if anyone can prescribe IVSM (steroid infusion -- solumedrol) until your appointment with the neuro, but that's the usual course of action. Sometimes Prednisone is given also. These usually help to end the relapse and send your MS back into remission. Did you have many symptoms before this exacerbation?

Hope you get some help soon and find what course works best for you. Take care!

Hi - My name is Juanita and this is my first time on th NeuroTalk site. I was DX with RRMS in 12/09 but have been suffering with all the symtoms since 1980. My first symtom of MS was Optic NU. I still have so many questions and it is so good to find others who understand MS.

"Thanks Juanita

Hi Juanita and welcome to NeuroTalk. I've had ON, too, and it just stinks! I hope you'll find the friendship and support that we all have found here. Hope to see you around the forum.

Hi Juanita and welcome! Pretty name. It sure took you many years to get a dx of MS. I am sure you did suffer a lot. I, too, had Optic Neuritis twice. It didn't last too long, but scares the heck out of you.

I'm so glad you found us. We love new people. I hope we can help each other. We are a very caring group of people.
Nice to meet you.

Hi Juanita and Welcome to NT! I'm sorry you have to be in this "club", but this is a great place for caring support. Yes, I've had optic neuritis twice also, once a long time ago, 1976, before MS was even mentioned. Hope to see you around and get to know you better!

Hi Lisa, Welcome to NT!

As Dej and Sally said, take your time deciding which drug you want to try next. You have been on two biggies already and still had progression, as shown on your MRI. Ask questions on the Tysabri thread sticky, or down below on the main forum.

We are here to help and listen too. We are glad you found us. Nice to meet you.
