Advice & Tips: This was a miracle drug for me. It is IV chemotherapy treatment for last ditch effort in treating MS. It turned my world around to where I felt like a functioning human again. It virtually stopped my exacerbations and I was able to walk on my own for the first time in seven years. The side effects were terrible for about two weeks after treatment. Vomiting and nausea, with lots of weakness and I lost my hair. The sad thing is that you can only take so many treatments in a lifetime. Now that mine are over I am going downhi again.
Side effects: nausea
