Hello, I was diagnosed August 2020 - decided to go on glatiramer acetate because I didn't want to rule out a second child and this was the only safe drug for pregnancy. However had an MRI three weeks ago after mentioning to my medical team new symptoms - and on Tues my neurologist just told me my MS is 'active' (still a bit confused by what that means) and I need to go on stronger treatment ASAP. I'm now trying to decide between Ocrevus (your other option) and cladribine... In retrospect: I am now wishing I'd have gone straight onto the stronger stuff from the off. But this is just my experience and your MS might not be as active as mine - in which case you might prefer to start on a treatment with less side-effects, like GA or the betaferon. With regards to those two specifically: I opted for GA because I read that the betaferon had a side-effect risk of depression/suicidal thoughts - and the only side-effects linked to GA were specific to injection site reactions. I'm currently on GA and it's fine - you soon get use to the regular injections! It's thought that the GA takes up to six months to build in system - just another thing to point out. Wishing you well!

@tee_bee Thank you so much that’s really helpful. I’m so undecided!! I’m thinking stronger option maybe a better idea too. I just can’t bare thought of having daily/ weekly injections just to interrupt my life further! I’ve heard good things about Ocrevus too. Good luck with everything!
