Drugs That Can Change the Course of your Multiple Sclerosis | Louisiana Healthcare Plans
These drugs that are used to treat multiple sclerosis are rather expensive and unfortunately they only work if you have type one or two of multiple sclerosis. This disease, which affects the nerves can be categorized into three types: relapsing- remitting multiple sclerosis, secondary progressive and first progressive multiple sclerosis. These drugs can only be prescribed to the patients that suffer from the first and second type of multiple sclerosis. Furthermore, only specialists are allowed to prescribe these medications to the multiple sclerosis patients. The most important thing to remember when using these drugs for multiple sclerosis is to follow the doctor’ s advice. If these drugs are taken regularly, this will limit your many disabilities that are cause by multiple sclerosis.

and if I ever lose my hands
lose my plough, lose my land
oh, if I ever lose my hands
oh, well…
I won’t have to work no more
and if I ever lose my eyes
If my colours all run dry
yes, if I ever lose my eyes
oh well …
I won’t have to cry no more.
and if I ever lose my legs
I won’t moan and I won’t beg
oh if I ever lose my legs
oh well…
I won’t have to walk no more
And if I ever lose my mouth
all my teeth, north and south
yes, if I ever lose my mouth
oh well…
I won’t have to talk…

Answers Junction » What could be a trigger factor of multiple sclerosis?
Management of progressive MS
Treatment of progressive MS is more difficult than relapsing-remitting MS, and many patients do not respond to any therapy. A wide range of medications have been used to try to slow the progression of disease. Many therapies have been shown to have some effect on disease progression and resulting disability, but most therapies have significant side effects which limit their long-term use. Therefore they are often appropriate only for the most rapidly progressive cases. Azathioprine, cladribine, and ciclosporin have all shown small benefits, which in most cases are outweighed by side effects such as an increased cancer risk. Mitoxantrone, a chemotherapy drug, offers a significant reduction in progression to disability, but causes dose-dependant cardiac toxicity which limits its long-term use. Bone marrow transplant, plasmapheresis, and total lymphoid irradiation (exposure to high doses of radiation in order to kill parts of the immune system) have been studied and are currently reserved for the most dire cases. Cyclophosphamide and methotrexate are chemotherapy drugs which can slow the progression of MS, but which also have a number of side effects. Frequent courses of high-dose corticosteroids, often given weekly or monthly, are also commonly employed to good effect. Interferons show promise in secondary progressive MS, but more data is needed to support widespread use.
