So yday we met with a MS specialist and she finally confirmed the diagnosis of MS for my DH. Though he has not had a clinical onset yet, she convinced us to start copaxone. She was pretty patient with us and took the time to give her opinion about varied questions I threw at her including, LDN. CCSVI, HSCT etc.
Spent two and half hrs with us and did several tests including optical tomography and several neuro examination. We are set on copaxone maintenance for now and is scheduled to meet her again in 6 months.
She was able to dig through our thoughts and was able to link an incident 8 yrs back as being the first symptom of MS for DH.
She said hopefully if he goes on for another 3-4 yrs (which would be 12 yrs since the first symptom) with not mcuh of symptom accumulation then she can probably term him to a have milder course for now.
She is a neuro who totally believes on HSCT and is heavily excited on the trial III results from the chicago trial. and I was pretty excited to hear that.
Thank you all for helping me through these tough times.
