Seeing that I've got my next appointment with neurologist this month, does anyone out there have any names of helpful drugs for PPMS?
Thanks and take care,
love

Hi Marta:
I just joined and saw your message. My Dr. has started me on cellcept. This drug is usually prescribed for transplant patients. He tells me he has had great success with this drug. I've only taken it for a few days so I don't know how well it works yet.

Hi Cathy,
Thank you very much for your reply. Unfortunately my neurologist decided not to give/change any of my meds. Pretty much a wasted journey. What results has your doctor had with this drug, what is it for?
Take care
Love

Hi Marta:
Cellcept is given to transplant patients so their bodies do not reject the new organ. My Dr. claims he has had good success with MS since it stops the immune system from attacking the body.
I have only been on it for one week so I really can't tell if it is working or not. The first week is one tablet per day, the second week is two and the third week in two before bed and one in the morning.
I'll keep in touch and let you know how the med works and if it is worth asking your Dr. his thoughts.
Be well,
Cathy

Cathy,
I'm just wondering how you are doing on the Cellcept now that it has been a couple months.
thanks,

Hi Laura:
I only took the cellcept for 2 weeks and stopped. It made me really sick. I also decided to change my MS Dr. I have not been on any "real" MS med for around six months and I can really feel the difference. My new Dr. has prescribed Tysabri which I was on for fifteen months. Although it did not make my symtoms less, it slowed the progression and I tolerated the Tysabri very well.
What MS Medicine do you take?
Cathy
