Neurologist: Ms is best followed and treated by a neurologist. If you have one call him for advice. Medications other than steroids are used.

See neurologist: If your relapse is worsening, you need to find out if it is a steroid treatment failure (if so, you might need course of Acthar or plasmaphereis), but you could possess an infection or metabolic issues, slowing recovery. I do NOT find a specific MS medication listed. I presume you overlooked this, but the best overall approach is prevention via potent agent such as Tysabri (natalizumab) or Gilenya.
