MS: Really the best way is to see the neurologist. There are both injectible and oral medications available and the neurologist can determine the type of ms occurring (i.e., relapsing-remitting, secondary progressive, primary progressive, progressive relapsing) that would respond best to the medication (steroids, plasmapheresis, immune-modulators, etc).

Complex: Treatments have dramatically changed over past few years. The older self-injectables are rapidly being discarded in favor of the newer orals and infusible agents, which seem easier to use and more effective. But, no one drug is the answer for everyone, and decisions are based on tolerance, co-morbidities, question of pregnancy. Maybe you are candidate for tysabri, (natalizumab) techfidera, gilenya, aubrigio?
