I would make a list of your symptoms (hope it's not a long one) so you can tell them. I would ask when you should call to make them aware of a new symptom (I think you'll be surprised at what they want you to tell them even when there is no change in meds). If this appointment will be to set up you starting DMDs, I would ask what side effects you should report are (I "tough it out" for some sides that really were a sign that the med was not for me. (that's not a bad thing) I would ask if going to physical therapy makes sense for you (I know, why would you need that? (I didn't know how much it helped) Most importantly, I would repeat to myself that I'm going to be fine

i have found tecfidera to be very helpful with curbing symptoms. I was on copazone for five years and beta seron for 10 years before that and am so glad I don't have to give myself a shot anymore!

Ask about MS meds and how best to slow or STOP the progression!

Decreasing relapse rates should be a must when fighting MS because a relapse can be unexpectedly horrific.
ALL the BEST!

Ask how many MS patients the doctors have if s/he is not an MS specialist. If you are open to alternative treatments, ask what resources are available. Stanford has a whole group focused on PT and OT and they offer Yoga classes, etc.
