Hi, has anyone got experience of starting a DMD after years of finishing and essentially opting out? I've been assigned a new consultant and I'm looking into being approved for one? Has anyone been turned down? Back in the day I had Copaxone and Avonex for a few years.

Hi everyone! I have been recently diagnosed with RRMS. My nurse has advised that I start a DMT - either Avonex or Plegridy. Is anybody on these or does anybody have any advice on which one I should go for? Thank you in advance

I’m on Avonex for 6+ years. Have no issue but would like to change. Dr has made several suggestions but I’m confused with all the data. Here are a few suggestions: Kesemta, Malvenclad or Zeposia. I’ve done all the research but now I’m more confused than ever. What’s everyone on?

Hi I'm new to Shift so excuse the babbling I'm 53 and was diagnosed in 1995 was trying as you all are i had two episodes of double vision in 2003 & 04 and was offered Avonex i had to finished work in 2005 and have muddling through with various new things it wasn't going Tooo bad but was told 2022ish it's now Secondary. I honestly felt worse than when first diagnosed... I knew things are bleak but even though it nearly 30 years it's a whole new mountain. Apart from things not working right and luckily not having to go to work but I really don't know where the time goes ???? I've never been a get going kind of person (my partner has always said it's my Malabu thing) but time just seems to wiz by before I've got going. I'm supposed to do physio and day to day things but the time just goes 🙃 thanks x
