The MS Pluse dose of methylprednisolone is 1000mg (1 Gram) in 100ml of saline once a day IV over one hour for 3-5 days.  Oral doses on the 500-1000mg range have been shown to be effective in immunomodulation and in the control of inflamation.  Small doses like you are taking are used to provide a small degree of immunomodualtion  when taken over a longer period of time (like a SoluMedrol Dose Pack.)

Hi Bob,
  I was very interested about the methylpredisolone, Sorry to change the subject lol.
  
My neuro started me on methylpredisolone 4mg yesterday, He said that it isnt a major dose but he wants to start me on something......I woke up this morning and already feel better not complete like before and I dont know if it could work that fast or not but either way its nice to really feel clear and not flat, Im walking better and and balance better. anyways just wanted to say intersesting to see that they use that for ms.This is the second time I started to feel better and got knocked back on my a&& this time I pray it holds :D

  Thanks Barbara

Actually, Methylprednisolone stop the infiltration of WBCs and stops the vascular wall inflammation.  It also effects the inflammation of brain tissue.  You see t as treating symptoms, but it directly stops the assault.  It doesn't prevent or slow disease progression, but it performs that same function as a DMD is an acute attack.  It is first and foremost an Immunomodulator.   It temporarily and directly stops the assault.  DMDs try to prevent the attack,  If you are on DMDs and have an attack, the next treatment is IVSM.

It doesn't treat the symptoms.  It treats the cause of the symptoms.

LDN has reports of extreme success in reducing disease progression as well as relapses. Here is a link to that information.....and if you google LDN and MS, you will get a great deal of information.

I agree that there needs to be a large double blind study on LDN, but until then, it is hard to dispute the reports given by MS patients taking LDN. Here is another very informative site of actual MS patients and their comments and discussion on LDN for MS.
