MS Links
I have visited all of the links listed below in my own search for answers. I hope you will find some answers while visiting them. But...most of all I hope that you will find hope and encouragment! A positive attitude goes a long way with MS. Remember that you aren't in this alone!
The first three links are to the makers of the MS "ABC" drugs. These are the only proven medications that may slow down the progression and severity of MS. I use Betaseron, which is a subcutaneous injection every other day. If your doctor has suggested that you use one of these medications please take the time to visit the sites of all three and become more knowledgable about them.
Hope the links help you out!
Hugs...Annie
