Mavenclad
Hi i was diagnosed with RRMS in 2012 when i was 26. Now 33 I've tried Copaxone, Gylenya and am on my second year of Mavenclad. With Copaxone i had a relapse and never felt any relief. Also i have permanent divots in my legs and arm because of it. Gylenya I was happy with but still finding symptoms were there. Then I was told about Mavenclad. Year 1 was un-freaking-believable! Quality of life went from 40 to 110! However 3 days before starting my second year dose (started today), the left side of my tongue became numb. Not concerned really because knowing my body, it's a flare up not a relapse. But I am loving Mavenclad! Anyone else liking this?
@tpenner86 , it's good of you to share the positive feedback with us.
@tpenner86 I was grateful to see your post about your positive experience with Cladribine. I am due to make the switch from Tysabri in the upcoming weeks/ months, and it always helps to hear the good stories. while there are some posts on shift about the drug, compared to the other, more established DMTs, as its relatively new still, it doesn't have much press, negative or positive. if you don't mind, a few questions. Did you work while going through the treatment? Did you experience any side effects? ( The most common, I seem to have read is fatigue levels increasing, which would make sense given the body is being put under a fair whack of stress, albeit in a managed level. much appreciated LL
