Two immunosuppressants and a whole lot of illness
I've been diagnosed with MS for 4 years now, first presentation was in 2015 however and it's taken til this year (2024) to find a good treatment. I say good treatment because not only do I have MS but I have other diagnoses too and all other treatments have worsened my symptoms of other conditions. All the while my MS went from active to very active. I'm now on Ocrevus and I think it's made a difference - no MRI yet but I've got one coming soon. As well as Ocrevus I'm on another new biologic drug - Tralokinumab - to treat my severe eczema. It's been a life changing drug, my skin is manageable for the first time in my life, I can sleep, exercise and be normal. Things are good in many ways. However these drugs have never been prescribed together before, I'm the guinea pig and I'm not sure it's a great idea. This year alone I've had 6 rounds of antibiotics for different infections, nora virus, a vomiting bug, corona virus and it's only July!
Has anyone else experienced multiple immunosuppressants? I know the long term risks, my consultants are very communicative with each other so it's not been a decision made lightly and I'm not seeking opinions on that decision. I want to know how people deal with the vulnerability we find ourselves in as immunocompromised people, especially those with experience of two immunosuppressant therapies. Appreciate you all :)))
