Description

People with multiple sclerosis may experience changes in cognitive processing speed, or the time it takes to understand information. These changes may lead to challenges with memory function and verbal skills.

·         Do not have type 1 or uncontrolled type 2 diabetes (A1c greater than 9%)

·         Do not have known allergy to contrast dyes and are willing and able to undergo MRIs

·         Have not taken Gilenya^® (fingolimod) and Tysabri^® (natalizumab)
