There are now 11 licensed treatments for multiple sclerosis, commonly known as DMTs (disease modifying therapies). These are available for people with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis and range from Tysabri, Lemtrada, oral therapies, to copaxone and the interferons. Speak with those living with MS to find out first hand what it is like to be on a particular treatment, or, if you have a question for an expert, check out our MS Reporters videos. DMTs are not a cure for MS, but they can have impacts on relapse rates, disease progression, MRI activity and long term brain health.

Treatment

It’s my first dose of Ocrevus tomorrow. I have the iPad charged, snacks and food sorted. Luckily I love meeting and talking to new people so I’ll make friends ☺️

Bladder issue treatment

Has anyone had success with treatment for overactive bladder/urgency/incontinence? I have tried pelvic floor PT and two different medications that have not helped much. The next step is trying sacral neuromodulation (Medtronic), which I’m optimistic about but wondering if anyone here has tried this?...
