...speed up and proceed faster? After reading dozens of articles about what they do not know, what causes Mutiple Sclerosis to speed up, or causes relapses? Certain life styles? Foods? Drugs? Do any drugs make it speed up or flare up? What is known? Sun is bad, does it cause it to speed up too? NCB

Seems like they don't know much about MS. The cause of progression in MS is unknown. A relapse can occur if you become over-heated, overly stressed, overly fatigued...or it can just happen. No lifestyles that I'm aware of make a difference in the progression. No foods, either. Supplements that boost your immune system should be avoided, because MS is a disease caused by an "over active" immune stem in the first place. Anything that stimulates your immune system could lead to a new attack or an exacerbation.

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society recommends that people diagnosed with MS begin treating with the "ABC" drugs (Avonex, Betaseron, or Copaxone) as soon as possible. While they do not "cure" MS, they do slow down the progression of the disease and prolong the progression of disability. I provided a link to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society below, as well as the makers of Copaxone's website.
