What can reasonably be done for Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis? |
I have pp MS and doctors have done little for me but treat some symptoms. I have known about it 9 years and am doing better than expected and going down very slowly, but still going down. Is there any way to turn this around? My mother has ppMS and has experienced the same treatment as you. Unfortunately treating your symptoms is all that can be done, especially as you have had this for 9 years. There is a lot of research into new drugs for MS but not for the progressive types only the relapsing remitting types. My mother had a few steroid courses which showed an improvement for a short term period, but I would be very cautious about steroid treatment as they come with serious side effects such as hypertnesion and osteoporosis . |
