For the girls
Hi, just advice needed really I take flingolimod and have done for 12 years and I’ve been relapse free since. But I’m 37 now and I think it’s time to start a family always been on the fence because of my MS but I can’t allow this to scare me. I’ve spoken to my ms team and they have suggested I go onto tysabri because of my ms being so active previously being off medication is not okay for me, I’m JC virus positive but it’s a very slim chance of getting this it will be monitored. But I’m also thinking do I go meds free? Has anyone been in this situation? How did you deal with this?
Any advice welcome
Thanks

I have 9 children and I was off and on my meds. I didn’t really believe I had it at first, because It didn’t affect me no more than numbness in my hands off and on.
I was on Rebif before I got pregnant. I also have PCOS and we struggled to conceive so when on some fertility meds, but was told I couldn’t take Rebif during that time. I felt really good during pregnancy - in the 2nd trimester anyway!! After my son was born I had a relapse and was put on steroids. I think this is really common. I couldn’t go back on Rebif until i stopped breastfeeding so that was about 8 weeks after he was born. Good luck!! 😊
