Plegridy
Hi, I'm new to the site, I was only diagnosed with RRMS in February 2016 after 9 months of tests due to double vision last summer. After my most recent MRI showing recent lesions, I have been given 3 entry level treatment options to choose from and I have opted for Plegridy, as it suits me best at this moment in time (particularly the side effects which seem more manageable and the least severe out of the options I was given) . Does anyone have any experience of this treatment and its effectiveness??
Yes I am on it. Side effects for me are manageable. My disease seems to be stable. Injections are only every fortnight so I can deal with that. I was similar to you only a few lesions. I have been on it 6 months had an MRI and I have 2 new lesions but they are very small. My neuro expected a couple of lesions as it takes3- 6 months for the drug to kick in. So fingers crossed all looking great with me. Also check out Dr Terry Wahl Wahl protocol and Overcoming MS both are great programs for things you can do in addition to meds.
Hi hen87, How you doing, I was on Plegridy for a couple of months. I was on Rebif and that didn't work at all well for me, so it was decided that I should give Plegridy a go and like taraking, it's easy to use, injection site gets time to recover, so your not covered in bumps and bruises, the needles are small, it sounds like your being tasered ( much to my sons amusement. Bingo I thought I'd hit the jack pot, till an emergency call was made to my work, I was reading for one of my students in an exam! All very dramatic with my nurse telling me, get yourself down the Drs he's expecting you, your liver function isn't good, we want you off the medication. I thought I was alright, I felt my usual ms self. It's been 4mths without any medication and I'm due to start Copaxone soon, I wish you the very best cos I thought it was ok made me feel a lot better than the other one. Good luck Josie x
