A member asked:

What can i do to minimize symptoms of multiple sclerosis, joined with taking medication ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Complex but doable: First, make certain that your basic dmt is potent and appropriate (like tysabri (natalizumab) or gilenya), and you need advice from an experienced ms specialist. Multiple meds to alleviate symptoms are available, for fatigue, urinary frequency, cognitive issues, walking problems, spasticity. Also, take supplemental vitamin d-3, 5000-10000 units daily.
