To DMT or to not DMT
Hi all, A quick overview, I was diagnosed in 2007 after 2 very mild episodes (slight numbness in sole of foot and double vision, both stoped after a week). Since then I have been on the powder form of Avonex and have had no further relapses. I have recently been told that Avonex are stopping the powder form so I have to change.
I'm interested a) to know peoples experiences of coming off DMT - obviously I am thrilled that I have not had any relapses - and am concerned to come off DMTs.
b) which DMT are best, I hate injecting,
Any ideas greatly received,
Cheers all
@michael , it would be useful to have a view on whether your MS has progressed or not, as this would assist your decision on DMTs. Have you had regular MRIs, or can you request one? There's a range of DMTs now available, from injectables, to infusions, to oral tablets. You'll want to read the following link, to understand the possibilities :- http://support.mstrust.org.uk/file/MSDecisionsWeb.pdf
I had a wash out month when I changed from Rebif to Tecfidera, I hadn't had any progression while I was taking Rebif. I didn't have any problems pop up during my wash out month. Potter
