Multiple Sclerosis Medications and Supplements

What do you take to help you with your Multiple Sclerosis??

I thought that I would share the medications and supplements I take that I do so because of my multiple sclerosis.

4-Amino Pyridine - 10 mg 3X per day -- It gives me energy and helps me walk better
Baclofen - 10 mg -- Decreases spasms, pain and stiffness related to multiple sclerosis
Provigil - 50 mg -- Helps clear my head so I am not fuzzy

Milk Thistle - 150 mg -- Protects liver function as taking the shots may impede liver function
Omega 3-6-9 -- Fish oils necessary to promote cell repair
Calcium and Vitamin D -- Helps maintain healthy immune system and supports cell growth
Ginkgo Biloba - 120 mg -- Supports memory and circulation
Actetyl L-Carnitine 500 mg/Alpha-Lipoic Acid 200 mg -- Dr. Elliott Dr. Frohman says to take
Multivitamin w/100% only of A, C, E -- Necessary to sustain/maintain many functions
B-12 as needed -- For energy


These medications and supplements help to keep me in my best shape to deal with everything that gets thrown at me from this crazy disease. Multiple Sclerosis makes it sometimes difficult to deal with the mobility issues and energy drains. I am very open to anything that is not medication to help me feel better!
