Neurosurgeon Questions Multiple Sclerosis

How is MS in older people managed?

My father has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. He is now 70 years old, and I understand this diagnosis is uncommon for his age group. Will he be treated differently?

I do not prescribe medication for multiple sclerosis myself, but would recommend that your father be seen at a center for multiple sclerosis treatment. I do imagine that the patient’s age has some influence over choices and medication management. There has been a lot of activity in multiple sclerosis treatment and there are multiple options.
