What is Multiple Sclerosis (MS)? How will MS help my MS? What are the goals of MS treatment? There are four main types of multiple sclerosis (MS), with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) being the most common. This is also the type that most people accept as a first-time diagnosis. Currently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves 20 different drugs to prevent brain and spinal cord injuries that cause MS symptoms. These are often referred to as "disease-relieving drugs" because of their ability to slow the progression of MS. When you start your first MS treatment, you should know a few things about RRMS medications, how they can help you, and the side effects they can cause. Questions to ask the doctor Before you go home with your new treatment plan, here are a few questions to ask your doctor: Why do you recommend this treatment? How will it help my MS? How do I accept it? How often do I need to take it? How much does it cost?
