Has anybody thought of asking their GP for the new MS drug?

I have been told by a specialist that it helps MS sufferers with the fatigue side and that it would be a good drug for FMS.

I highly doubt that anyone with FM would be given this drug. I think the fact that it is £20.000 a dose is going to mean that it is for now only to be given to diagnosed MS sufferers, and then only to those that are a a certain stage. I imagine it will be for primary progressive sufferers, and as someone who has MS I am fine with this.

It has only just been passed and is new. It was on the BBC news.
