Hello suggest try Shared Solutions nurses 800.887.8100 8a-8p EST, there may be funding from them for persons to obtain medicine. TyMy brother in law has MS ( for 2 years now) and he is living on SSDI now but no medicare yet. Costly to get shot, no $ for it yet. 3 thousand dollars a month for medicines to prevent farther damages. He sometime get blind, sometime not feeling right side of arm or leg. Stay away from hot shower, no more driving car and depression, I think. I am so sorry you have it. Terrible way to have it.
My sister has MS. I heard that if you got MS before you are 40, it would be worse than if you got it after 40. My sister got it when she was 40. She doesn't drive anymore and get around on a 4-prong cane. She can eat alot but still stay very skinny. Her daughter is taking care of her.

you didn't say in your original post that he goes blind ...not everyone has vision problems. You can't tell the OP no more driving, hot showers, etc if you don't know the OP's symptoms and their specific MS
I am sorry for being blunt, I did not like her saying everyone still can drive when my brother in law was only 50 and has to stop working for good. You think it is easy for any man to become disabled and not be able to work ever. And he is not getting any treatment because of costly. It angers me that our government did not do any good for people who paid their taxes years and not get one help from them. He goes blind once in awhile because he is not getting any treatments so right now he can not drive. I will leave this alone. We have to deal with this with OP or not or anyone because it is part of our life now for few years. Hot water made him go blind, so only warm and he has to get rid of spa because he can not use it. It is rare for any man who got MS after 50. For your information, my mil was very upset and cried when she learned about her son's condition. It is worst news for anyone in the family. Leave me alone and I have right to say stuffs.you didn't say in your original post that he goes blind ...not everyone has vision problems.

MS in particular seems to be a very variable disease. A friend of mine, now in her mid-40's, was diagnosed with it a few years ago. She had one really bad episode, could not move, had to be cared for by friends and a nurse, was paralyzed on one side. Then she got over it, went into remission, and basically is fine now. She still has the disease in her system, but shows absolutely no symptoms at all.
On the other hand, an older cousin of mine also has it, was diagnosed many years ago. She is in a wheelchair and will never walk more than a few steps ever again. She needs a lot of assistance with her daily life.
Her sister, a few years younger, was diagnosed with it more recently, walks with a cane, and while she needs some help, she mostly gets along pretty well.
I don't know how well doctors can predict which version a person is going to have. I guess people basically deal with the symptoms as they come up, and try to plan ahead as best they can.
