Support and Resources for CIS

Contact a neurologist if you are experiencing CIS symptoms. If your neurologist determines that you have CIS, they can help you understand the probability of your condition progressing to MS. If you have had an episode of CIS and are not using a DMT, talk to your healthcare provider about that.An MS Navigator — a highly skilled, compassionate professional — can help you locate a neurologist, and other healthcare providers, if you don’t already have one. Contact an MS Navigator at 1-800-344-4867 or online.
