Diagnosed MS. Positive Result For Spinal Tap And 3 Brain Lesions. On Lamotrigine For Vertigo. History Of Losing Vision In A Eye For Short Time. Remedy?

My son was just diagnosed with MS. He is 31. He tested positive on his spinal tap and has 3 brain lesions. He is also taking lamotrigine for vertigo. He cannot drive because of the vertigo and he lost vision in one eye for a couple of hours 2 weeks ago. Can this get better with medicine or are these lesions here to stay? He has missed a few days of work and I am wondering if he is going to lose his job. I am a very worried mom 800 miles away.

HI
Thank you for choosing HCM you used abbreviation, word, 'MS' do not use such abbreviation while explaining to medics you should be clear and meaningful,, use simple terms as long as it is possible, now MS has wide meaning right from Mitral stenosis to multiple sclerosis, what exactly I should take it in account, if you mean, Multiple sclerosis then you need to talk to his physician, there are numbers of newer therapies available, but it should be discussed with treating physician, regarding the side effect of drugs, coast, duration of treatment, compliance etc. please be in touch with HCM. good luck to your son.
