I’ve been on kesimpta since October, I found it better to take in the evening then sleep it off. So far so good, it seems to be the most popular DMT at present. I do believe it’s slowing this down, as before I started the DMT I’d had 4 relapses in 10 months.
Had a bit of a similar shift with meds 🤔 started on copaxone, few years later tried on tysabri (failed because I've got high JCV antibody levels, so back on copaxone for a few months. Then had a really bad relapse that proved I have aggressive MS, and so got started on ocrevus. Had the option to try kesimpta in 2023, so I did, but only for a couple of months because of a seizure, that came about because of not being able to empty my bladder and the pain keeping me awake at night, so back on ocrevus I went. I think, now that I have bladder and bowel nurses who've prescribed catheters so I can empty myself when required, I might start kesimpta again 🤔
