They are only designed to slow progression, not help with symptoms. Some people notice their symptoms improving though. Hope this helps!
Hi Rachel I think by stopping relapses, and giving your brain to recover from the inflammation; in-turn it gives time and room for improvements to take place. Untreated, the brain gets inflamed and is overworked dealing with the ongoing damage. When a DMT works, not only stopping relapses, but it also reduces the inflammation and the brain is under less stress&strain. the process of remylenation, which can help us recover from the symptoms. Is going to be more effective, when there is less on going damage (by using a DMT) and reducing the inflammation. So while they don’t directly reduce symptoms, they can indirectly.
