I was diagnosed with RRMS in October 2020, following my last MRI there was no new lesions (yay!) however there was signs of silent activity (didn't even know this was a thing results and conversations always focused on lesions) and further brain atrophy has now lead to my MS team encouraging me to start on a DMD. The two options I have are Aubagio and Tecfidera both tablet based. I have just received some information through the post on both of these so I can way up the pro's and con's of each before having a telephone appointment with the MS nurse next month to discuss further but if I'm honest it's just making me freak out. It's such a lot to consider and the side effects don't sound great for either. I live on my own and it worries me that if the side effects are rough will it have a knock on affect to me for work and managing at home but then again if I don't start a DMD it could also result in me progressing quicker. Did any of you guys freak out and panic at the thought of starting a treatment, is it normal to feel like this? What DMD's are you guys on any insight to either Aubagio or Tecfidera and how you found taking the tablets daily, how you managed the side effects and how long did they last etc would be gratefully received. Thank you!
