Starting MS treatment early can stop or slow the progression of the disease before it causes serious disability or worsening symptoms. Your doctor can help determine which treatment is right for you.
Many people may find it challenging to decide when to begin treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS). Faced with few symptoms and the prospect of side effects from medication, many people choose to delay medical intervention.
However, MS is a lifelong condition. Starting treatment early can have a positive impact by potentially slowing the progression of the disease.
Discuss the condition with your doctor to arrive at the best plan for your short- and long-term well-being.
