Hi Everyone,
I was Dx with TM in May and have recovered quite well after being temporarily
paralyzed. However, I still suffer from the sensory, coordination, bladder and
sexual problems. I have just been prescribed gabapentin for my neuropathy.
After meeting with four different neurologists, one is of the opinion that I
should take MS therapies to prevent future relapses. Even though he says I do
not have MS, he calls it a clinically isolated syndrome. Since my brain MRI is
abnormal, he suggests that my risk of really having MS is extremely high.
I just wanted to ask if your neurologists recommended taking interferon beta or
copaxone therapies? The side effects are pretty horrendous and I am really
concerned about quality of life, but at the same time, I don't want to have
another episode and be paralyzed permanently. I would greatly appreciate any
feedback on experiences, side effects, etc.
Thanks,
Kelly Jean
