What to do?? Hi, my name is Rose. I’m new to this app. I was diagnosed with Ms back in 2016. Since than I’ve tried two dmts. Gilenya and mavenclad since than. Gilenya gave me horrible rashes for four years before my neuro switched me to mavenclad. That medication was the absolute worst. I lost about half of my hair and had frequent heart palpitations to where I needed a heart monitor twice. I only did the first year round 1 and never followed up for my second because of fear. I am meeting with my neuro within the next month about starting a new medication. What is some options that he could give me? And what is your personal experience with those DMTS?

I'm on mavenclad too. Is that why I'm losing all my hair? I thought it was because of everything else I have going on... I wish I could tell you what medication to go on but I do not know. I'm trying to figure out the same thing myself. I did the first round of Maven-Clad and I'm supposed to do the second round but I think the time has passed. I'm never sure
