meds

I just read in the MS support group that only a 1/3 of MS patients respond to
A-B-C drugs so I think treating the underlying problems is more important then
treating the MS. Since they can't cure the MS why
play with a drug that is made by a synthtic chemical?!

thanks for your thoughts about my wife. I just want to see justice done and my
son taken care of, and yes, it will all work out in the end.

luv and peace
LOU

The only thing I would add to the ABCs reducing exacerbations by about 1/3 is that this is an average. Some will do better, some less than the 1/3 reduction....

Hi all, In response to the statement that only one third of MSers respond to the ABC drugs: I agree with Howard. Someone misread the info from the data....
