would you advise someone to get on meds?

I have PPMS and have a friend, who not only has a Dad with PPMS,, but has had MANY symptoms of RRMS. She has had numb tingling hands, legs so heavvy she was unable to walk, etc.,etc. She never mentions M.S., she always says it's something else. I know she must realize that it is M.S but doesn't want to face it. I know I'm one of the few, but I question whether or not the medications really work to slow down the remitting/relapsing disease. Should I suggest she take them or not. All adviice would is welcome.
