    I'm still tinkering with this thread and am glad that you're speaking up. I wasn't sure what to do about those two drugs but think I've found a way of including them without making everything too complicated.

    The MS Society lists IVIG under treatments for relapses. Maybe it's disease-modifying as well but the medical community hasn't decided to say that it is yet.

      This thread is now as up to date as Moderator 7 and I could get it. I hope people will find it useful.

        Neurology Now, mentioned in posts #2, 6, and 28 in this thread, has changed its name to Brain and Life. This free periodical is available for the asking, and you can have it sent in the mail and/or online by e-mail. Sometimes there is useful information about MS in it.

                    The MSAA will apparently be issuing MS research updates every other month. Here is the research update for July 2019:

                        Neurology Now has changed its name. It is now called Brain and Life and is still available for free. It is a publication of the American Academy of Neurology. It often has articles about MS.

                            Good up-to-date information on housing options from the MS Society--though it is a .pdf file:

                              The following link is to set up calendar events (it's a subforum of the MS forum).

                              Please note that all events will be placed into one calendar that anyone can see. If I figure out how to create a calendar for each forum that wants one I will
                              Question: Why can't I post links or pictures?
                              Question: Why can't I have a signature, avatar, or profile picture?
                              Question: What's wrong with my account?

                              Answer: You are in the "registered users" user group. This group is very limited in what it can do. This will annoy spammers to no end Just keep posting once you have been registered for 30 days and have made 11 posts your account will be "unlocked".

                              It's really easy to put someone on ignore and it's strongly recommended that you do so with people who's posts you don't like.

                              Step 1 - log in
                              Step 2 - click on the "settings" link
                              Step 3 - click on the "edit ignore list" link on the left side of the screen
                              Step 4 - type (or paste if you copied and pasted it) the username of the person you want to ignore
                              Step 5 - click the "ok" button on the right of the screen

                              Easy peasy and will lower your blood pressure. One important note though, this won't hide quoted posts. It's an oversight on the developers part and it's not an easy thing to "fix." So if someone quotes someone you have ignored, you'll see the quote.

                              Alternatively when you click on a person's name and view their profile page, underneath their avatar, there is a option that says, "Ignore this person". Click that link and then click the yes button.
