Newly diagnosed with MS and allergic to steroids.
What's the option for an MS patient who is allergic to steroids?Is there any other medicine that will work on any MS patient allergic to steroids in first place?Thanks.
You might want to read the info at the vitamin D council web site about the connection between Vitamin D3 deficiency and MS. For more info go to
www.vitamindcouncil.org
For "optimal wellness" your D3 levels should be between 50 and 70 ml. Next time you get blood work done ask for a D3 check also. The council suggests you take at least 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 a day.
It is cheap and easy to get at Costco, Walmart, etc.
Good luck,

Other drugs used are cyclophosphamide and Mitoxantrone. Then there is supportive drug therapy for symptoms. Please talk to your doctor regarding all this. Take care!
