First, it must be determined whether you truly have MS or do you instead have Neuromyelitis Optica? MS drugs may make the latter worse! If you do have progressive MS, self-injectables and many oral agents will be disappointing. Monoclonal antibodies may be a choice. Find a local medical school, and see a neurologist who specializes in MS ASAP. Do not delay. Do give us feedback.
