To go on meds or not

I have secondary MS for the Last. I think 10 years it has progressed worse and I’m seeing my neurologist. I have been on nine different DMD over the 27 years of having MS and I did not stay on them for long because I found that they were giving me side-effects. Because I hear there is a lot of new medications for secondary MS and I’m not sure whether I should try them or not. I just don’t know whether there will be a positive thing and help me now or just the to slow down the condition. Has anybody had experience with these medications?

Most DMTs come with side effects but you have to balance this with the benefits. If you have the name of the drugs you have been offered, MS Trust can help in comparing drugs with a decision tool.
