If you do not now have MS, I would suggest staying clear of those heavy-duty MS treatments.
However, some of the newer medications which prevent seizures, spasms, convulsions, relapses, and inflamed nerves, can be used for both MS and TM. I know this due to my having been diagnosed with MS in January with classic MS symptoms; then with TM in April after an attack of convulsions and other symptoms linked to TM, then getting Lyrica and epileptic anti-seizure medications. Brain MRIs showing lesions are indeed suggestive of MS.
