New guide for choosing DMTs
So, I see a lot of questions on this board about choosing a DMT or switching. Given that there are over 20 different options right now, it can feel a lot like cramming for the final in Your Future Is at Stake 101. The good news? The Multiple Sclerosis Association of America just launched The MSAA Treatment Guide [https://mymsaa.org/ms-information/treatments/]. It gives you all the details on 19 different drugs (how they’re administered, how often, side effects, etc.). It has a tool for comparing different drugs and even features video comments from doctors and patients. Spend an hour there and you’ll be ready to handle the DMT discussion like a boss.
Oh, and it should go without saying but I still see the horror stories – if your neurologist just hands you a sheaf of pamphlets and tells you to make a choice, make a choice – kick them to the curb! Find a competent neuro who will help guide you to the one that’s the best fit for your situation.
(Note:I first saw this mentioned on Ed Tobias's blog The MS Wire.)
