Nicole Hi Tina Jo,

Thanks for your response! I appreciate your advice. Unfortunately, MS drugs are usually not the same drugs used to treat my condition. However, more treatments are being developed.

Thanks for your response! I appreciate your advice. Unfortunately, MS drugs are usually not the same drugs used to treat my condition. However, more treatments are being developed.

What does your family member with MS do for a living? Has it affected his or her work at all?

My question is not so much about treatments, but about work strategies. As you know, work can make a big difference in your health and teaching even more so. If anyone has experience in this area, I would love to hear about it.

Warm thanks,

Nicole
