Methods: A 33 year-old female suffering from Multiple-Sclerosis (MS) was receiving Beta1a-Interferon from the last 2.5 months, Deflazacort 1 month and Ibuprofen occasionally.

Cyclosporine, Prednisone, Zinc-Sulfate baths and complete discontinuation of implicated medication achieved total symptom relief.
