MRI Results

Finally got my results, the MS is stable. I haven’t had any relapses since I started my meds a couple of years ago. However, I still feel terrible. The fatigue, the anxiety and the cog-fog is out of control. My body doesn’t feel right, something is off. I’m currently on a heart monitor to rule out a...

DMT thought...?

This might sound like a stupid question, but its something that has only just come into mind... Do DMTs only help stop relapses of different symptoms, which you havent yet experienced? or do they also help stop the ones you have experienced from recurring?

How we deal...

What kind of relapses affect you the most? Mine is not able to get up and move well in the mornings with major headaches. How do we function?

So I was on Copaxone for like 3 years it was working great. Then all of a sudden my relapses were happening more often. Just moved to Chicago 7 months ago and have now established care here. My Neurologist is wanting to start me on Kesimpta. Has anyone ever been on it? If so what were some side affects? Also side note I don't have a Pancreas so I am extremely nervous about trying new medications.

DMT

Hi all, Brand new here but I’ve been diagnosed with RRMS since 2020. Recently I’ve been struggling to find a DMT that doesn’t increase infections but also is strong enough to control relapses. I switched from ocravus to Mavenclad and now I’m in a relapse. Anyone else have this problem and what DMT...
