Thanks for all your replies and kind thoughts. I was hoping that after ten years there would now be a special drug that would help her. Rose

> Hi everyone. My sixty-one year old sister was diagnosis with MS about ten years ago. One neurologist suggested she should begin inject able medication. A "second-opinion" neurologist stated that the side effects from the medication are worse than her problems then. Her MS has now progressed to where she now needs assistance to walk, get dress, take a shower, or go to the bathroom. She has limited control of her right leg and arm, which are also painful. Her speech, at times, is slurred. She has vision and hearing problems, as well as, incontinence. Considering her age, does anyone have experience with any type of medication that will "improve" her problems? I know there is no cure for MS; however, is there any hope she could improve with medication. Thanks, Rose
