Comment:
I avoid this medication at all costs. The only reason I will take it is if I risk being on my back for several weeks. I have too many of the side effects and the medicine doesn't seem to work so well for me. I understand people think this is a great medicine, but for me it has only been a disappointment.

Very effective. I did experience side effects such as high blood pressure and high glucose levels. But overall I would use it again.

My Neruo has been adding 1G IV for my multiple sclrosis 1x daily for 5 days every month, then 1G for three days every 3 months now, in addition with my immune modulating drugs. They believe it does help maintain the MS as a proflactic course and I totally agree. IT HAS WORKED FOR ME FOR YEARS NOW.
