Guest guest Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 They don't seem to update their top 10 so I made my own. I think it is flawed because some things only treat one or some but not all symptoms. The interferons, copaxone, marijuana, support, cortisone, and LDN, all aim to treat the whole disease. Don't know about gabapentin. Anybody know? So I made a top 12, and several I would remove because they treat only one symptom (amantadine and modafinil for fatigue, baclofen for spasticity: That makes it a top 9, with Revia, so far, at the bottom but it's only one day! R=rating D=density (# of ratings) R * D = rating weighted by density treatment R D R * D Copaxone (Glatiramer acetate) 7.6 32 243.2 Neurontin etc. (Gabapentin) 7.2 33 237.6 Betaseron etc. (Interferon beta-1b) 6.3 32 201.6 Emotional Support: Family / Friends 9.3 21 195.3 Marijuana (Cannabis Sativa / Indica) 8.9 21 186.9 Rebif (Interferon beta-1a) 7.1 26 184.6 Avonex (Interferon beta-1a) 7.2 22 158.4 Solu-Medrol etc. (I.V.
