Hi Ami,
Re: Betaseron. I have NMO, which presents as recurring transverse myelitis (Though our lesions are much longer and often necrotic.) and optic neuritis. Most of the research literature shows, that with TM, immunosuppressive drugs are the first course of action, and in MS, immunomodulatory drugs are used. I've been told by several neuros, that the MS drugs will not work for me. Hope this helps.

Hey everyone! It's been awhile since I last emailed. Mike hasn't had much to any improvement since I last posted, but one good thing is he has recently gained the use of his right thumb and limited movement in his fingers on his right hand. It certainly isnt' much, but its something. Anyhow, I have a question you all probably heard over and over again. I recently read a brochure on a drug called Betaseron. Have any of you used this drug? Does it help (like it says it does) with reducing an existing lesion? Help me...what does this drug actually do for TM patients???Ami Myers
