Treatment for rrms
Not long back from the ms specialist clinic where I met the neurologist and my ms nurse (only took 3 months!) but they were talking about treatments I can take, they mentioned the biggie lemtrada, which sounds scary being in hospital plus the side effects being thyroid problems put me off, the other two drugs are Aubagio which I’m not liking the whole hair thinning side effect and tecfidera which even though side effects not great looks the best out of a bad bunch. Has anyone been on any of these treatments and how were you on it? I know everybody reacts differently but just looking for some info.
Hey I just met with my nurse on Tuesday and I decided to go with Tecfidera which I'm starting in September. I was tempted with lemtrada but think I'll try the Tecfidera first as he did say Lemtrada is more aggresive. I'll let you know how I get on when I start, I'm delay starting them until after I come back from holiday :) x
@chezn87 , a potential thyroid problem, easily treated with a daily medication, is a small price to pay to potentially kick MS into touch. So, don't discount this too quickly. Tecfidera is the less effective option, involving two tablets a day, potentially for life. You can find personal experiences of both treatments by using the Forum Search function (magnifying glass, top left). :wink:
