@ydawson Thanks for adding your story about MS. Could you please explain what you mean by "I have the JVC that can cause PLM"? Teresa
@tashanharrell So sorry to hear that you have not had some good explanations and support. Teresa
Hello I understand your pain I was diagnosed in September and it is scary and confusing, but God got the last say so! I am taking an infusion treatment because I have the JVC that can cause PLM that is a brain virus that can kill u in a year times with all the different medications, the only medication that can stop the PLM is Rituxan may prove to be a highly effective treatment for the most common form of multiple sclerosis, if results from a small, phase II trial are confirmed. In the study, sponsored by the drug's manufacturers, patients with relapsing-remitting MS who were treated with a single course of Rituxan showed rapid reductions in the inflammatory brain lesions that are a hallmark of the disease. And after nearly a year of follow-up, half as many patients treated with the drug had experienced clinically significant relapses as patients in the placebo arm of the study. I hope this been helpful maybe you can ask your doctor about this medication.
