I am suspicious to multiple sclerosis . what can i do to fight it??

5 yrs ago after an serious emotional stress i developed blurred vision and both upper and lower extrimities numbness. MRI showed multiple small plaques and VEP showed demyelination of optic nerve so i became admitted and got some drugs such as prednisolone.
doctors wanted to start avonex for me but i refused till now. these days i sometimes have blurred vision and extrimities numbness and i am afraid of multiple sclerosis. do you think that i must start medications as avonex or i fight by my disease by my power of mind?

Join the MS group.

I think you need to seek medical advice, rather then those of people on Yahoo who have very limited knowledge of medical subjects.

Do what the doctor tells you. My sister has MS but has had no symptoms for many years. She does just what the dr says. I think she takes medication but I'm not sure. Find a support group also. That will help.

I think you should make an appointment and talk with your Neurologist. He/She can discuss with you what your options are at this point. I think you will feel better after talking with your doctor.

Educate yourself about MS. Then you can make better decisions for yourself. I have MS also and I take Copaxone. Keeping a positive mindset helps when you have any disease. You can learn alot about MS on line or by contacting the National MS Society for literature. I have MS also and the more you know about the disease and medications, the better off your are. You can go to remedyfind.com as well as Wikepedia also for information. Good luck to you.

To start, MS is different for everybody. What works for me may not work for you. Although, I feel Avonex is a great start. I have been on it for about 2 years. I had numbness, poor coordination and slurred speech so bad that I couldn't function without the care of my husband. My neurologist put me on Avonex immediately following my diagnosis and after a couple of months I could talk and walk again. Now I am back at work full time without issues. I haven't had any sort of relapse and I feel great. I think all of this is due to the fact that I started treatment right away. I know it is scary, but you cannot ignore it. You have to stay strong and do what you can to help yourself. Another extremely important aspect is diet and exercise. You can find information on the web. A good place to start is the National MS Society. Good luck.

There are several medication that moderation multiple sclerosis, and tend to slow downthe progression. There is no reason not to use one of them. Speak with a neuro who specializes in this and chose one of the medications. They have different side effects. Good Luck
