Ever since I was diagnosed I’ve pushed to get on a strong DMT such as Ocrevus (since there is a lot of research that you should hit MS ‘hard and fast’) but to no avail. My neurologist simply refuses. I emailed my MS nurse the other day to see if I could persuade her but she replied with ‘The question of prescribing DMTs is outlined by a national criteria - in other words certain DMTs can only be prescribed if certain things are evident.’ This is so frustrating as a lot of people around my age (20) seem to have been given the highly effective stuff right away, not the less effective ones like Aubagio that I am currently on. How do I get the treatment I want?? Do I have to call my GP to help me change neurologists to get the treatment I want or will I receive the same response from them?
