Mavenclad Treatment?

Helloo everyone, So I am new to this site, found it while I was trying to do research for Mavenclad treatment. I am very excited and hopeful to have this community as a support system as I haven't had anyone to talk to who can relate to my MS. I have been on Glatect (copaxone) for the last 2 years but my MRI's are showing continued lesions so my doctor would like to change my treatment to Mavenclad. I am a bit hesitant because of the current COVID situation and also just generally catching anything. But it would be nice to stop having to do daily injections. Sooo questions for Mavenclad patients: How was your treatment? have you had any bad symptoms? Do you feel safe taking this medication during COVID?? Any good feedback?

I'm currently on Mavenclad, six months in. Would TOTALLY recommend. Zero side effects for me - just an acceptable, slight and very well welcomed lymphocyte depletion. I don't exactly feel safe taking this medication during COVID times, but a lot of DMTs play on our immune system, so I think I have accepted that I'll always be the fragile one + COVID isn't likely to go away anytime soon, and my MS is definitely not disappearing. I mean she can if she wants to, but apparently I'm too cozy :P Regardless of the status of your immune system, please stay safe and wear a good mask and just disinfect everything that comes near you. (:

I'm on Mavenclad. I took year one back in October 2021. So far, I have not had any side effects. There is a Facebook group for UK users.
