Rick,

Do you have a neurologist? It's not clear to me if you are seeing a Neuro. on a regular basis or not.

If, not, or if so, talk with the neuro., about your symptoms so that you can learn about what's going on with you, and to also explore the best treatment options available, e.g. Aubagio, Tecifidera, Rebif, Ocrevus, Avonex, and even Gabapentin (neurontin,) which is used to stop M.S. nerve pain, much like what you might be experiencing.

Checkout the Treatments tab at the top of this forum for other treatment types to discuss with your neuro. I have only listed the most popular.

I hope you have found this post useful.

God bless!

@A MyMSTeam Member If you believe you’re having an active flare, call your neurologist for an emergency appointment.
I know that IVIG can be used for some people who are having flares who can’t use steroids. I don’t know a whole lot about it so maybe another experienced member can chime in and tell you about it.

Ric59, sounds like you are having attack, you might want to call your neurologist and let them know and maybe they can help you out! Have a good and pain free week( if possible)!

Are these episodes short? Like between 20 minutes and a few hours? If so, have you considered optic migraines as the cause?
