Getting the disease-modifying drugs in the U.K - in box - Letter to the Editor

Inside MS, Oct-Dec, 2002 by Thea Amr

I have a good friend who lives in the U.K. who has MS, as I have. Over the last eight years she has been treated (or rather not treated) horribly. She has finally seen a neurologist (twice in the last five years) who has taken an interest in her and recommended her to take part in a drug trial. Your article confirmed that the conditions are truly bad in the U.K.

We are all hopeful that the recent changes by Britain's National Health Service--especially the decision to cover prescriptions for all four of the disease-modifying drugs--will alter this for people in the U.K.
