A coworker of mine was diagnosed with MS in her early 30s. Now she seems to be doing fine. I'll try to contact her to see what they did for her.

Best wishes!
I am so sorry for your grandma. My husband is on Rebif, a beta-interferon medication that supposedly slows the progression of the disease. He has to inject himself with this med. 3 times a week. His neurologist is in Mt. Sinai hospital in NYC that has an MS clinic. They are very up to date on all the lastest treatments. Unfortunately with MS, sometimes even the best medications don't always help. We are hoping with the advances in modern science, one day they'll find a cure.
