Case Study  Joanna is a 40-year-old female who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis(MS) 7 years ago after experiencing numbness in her legs and an MRI revealed characteristic brain lesions of demyelinating disease. She was prescribed an interferon (IFN)-beta formulation. Over the last 5 years, MS has affected every aspect of her life. Last year she began to experience increasing physical disability and difficulty driving. As a single mother of 2, she worries constantly that she may no longer be able to work and support her kids. She has not been faithfully adhering to her prescribed IFN regimen because she struggles with the injections. Recently, she experienced a worsening of symptoms including double vision and spasticity in her legs. After several days of experiencing these symptoms, Joanna awoke one morning to find that she could not move her arms or legs normally. She immediately called for an ambulance and was admitted to the hospital.
