Did you know that MS relapses can affect your vision?

Treatment for optic neuritis may help 


Optic
neuritis (inflammation of the optic nerve), which causes short-term vision
loss, may be unpredictable. But learning about options, such as H.P. Acthar
® Gel (repository
corticotropin injection), is a good way to take charge of your treatment plan.

Acthar may help

Meet Emily.
Super mom of 3 boys
Living with MS since 2010

“The relapse that led to my MS diagnosis began as a slow,
stabbing pain in my left eye and intensified over the next 2 weeks. My
vision diminished from being able to see clearly out of that eye to the
point where it was as if I was looking through wax paper. I was told I had
optic neuritis.


When I started taking Acthar, my vision went from being completely gray to
gradually more shades of light. Then it went to being like pinpricks, as if
I could see through a lace doily. And finally it came back to a more stable
vision. Over the next couple weeks as my vision continued to improve, I was
able to get back to my regular routine. Things like cuddling with my boys,
and talking to my husband about weekend plans became viewed as very
precious gifts.

I refuse to live in fear of what I can’t control, and instead
I choose to be prepared should a relapse occur. It is comforting to know
Acthar is available for me if a relapse does happen.”

This story
is about one person’s experience with Acthar. Everyone is different and results
may vary. It is important to discuss all treatment options with your healthcare
provider who is in the best position to know what is right for you.
