Specific treatment in MS:
1 . Acute relapse : High dose steroids (e.g. IV methylprednisolone)
2 . Disease modifying drugs : first line (Beta-interferon) —risk of thyroid disease so need TFTs
3 . pregnancy : glatiramer
4 . Spasticity : Baclofen and gabapentin are first-line.
5 . MS-related fatigue : amantadine

Transverse myelitis = Sensory level
Case 1 : Sensory level – spinal cord lesion, trauma-related acute paraplegia and sensory loss below the umbilicus.
Case 2 : Transverse myelitis with Spinal shock state – Rapid onset flaccid paralysis, areflexia (Lower motor neuron sigs + Sensory level ) , post-infectious.
