My husband, who is 52, was just diagnosed with progressive MS. We're
not sure about the primary/secondary part. He has balance isssues. We
have been going to a naturopathic doctor who has him on supplements.
The naturopathic doctor does not think he has ms. We also go to a
neuologist who had him do the high dose 3 day course of steroids. He
felt some improvement for a day or two, but was then back to the
walking issues. Now the neurologist wants him to do the steroids very
6-8 weeks. My question is this- is there anyone who has done this
treatment and seen improvement? The side effects are a big concern to
me.
