To plegridy or not to plegridy…
Hi, new member here. I was diagnosed last year with MS after optic neuritis and an MRI and LP confirmed. I started on plegridy last July and I got used to it pretty fast (the injecting IM). However the side effects don’t seem to be settling even with paracetamol/ibuprofen. Anyone else have any experience with this drug and any tips would be grateful. I’m due to see my neurologist soon to discuss treatments. Thanks, Jessica.
Alot to bother with for only 30% disease effectiveness. I would change for something more efficacious
Hi, I was on Avonex, which made me Ill, plus I found injecting super stressful. I was then offered plegridy. Smaller needles and only once every two weeks. No more efficacious than Avonex, 30% as mentioned above. I pushed for a new drug. Took a year without treatment. Got to 70% efficacy now and I feel happier in my head. I just hope I am one of the 70%. Good luck.
