Hi guys, I am new here so am still finding my way!

I am 44 and currently taking Avonex. I was diagnosed at the age of 21 when I was numb from the neck down then a few years later went temporarily blind in both eyes at the same time. Scary stuff! I am currently doing well.

Life after Lemtrada

I started Lemtrada June of 2018, completed May of 2019. It wasn’t an easy treatment. Ms for me began in 1995 (17 years old). Around 29 years of interferons…betaseron and then avonex. Then I stopped dmt’s and tried just diet…..bad idea.🤦🏼‍♂️. With my ms progressing and shouldering from RRMS to ...

Kesimpta side effects

Hey yall, I've been on Kesimpta for half a year now, first injection went kinda smooth with barely any side effects, ever since I never noticed anything from the injection. Well, until now. I injected a dose on tuesday this week... everything went well, but today I noticed swelling and redness aroun...

Kesimpta. Thumbs up 👍 👍

Injection no 3 done yesterday. So far no side effects, no injection site reactions. I'm loving it. Anyone thinking of starting this treatment, it's fab. Also very easy to do, painless. A damn sight easier than Copaxone. I hated that. I just hope it does what it's meant to and stops progression.

"Preventative" hydration and Advil don't always do the trick...

Had a Plegridy injection last night and I feel like I was hit by a truck. Chills, body aches, some nausea, and a headache. I just want to sleep. Not necessarily looking for advice, just want to complain (if you have some that's still fine, though lol). If the medicine hadn't been controlling my MS...

Hello and advice on Ocrelizumab

Hello everyone, this is a new experience for me talking to other MSers and not just the nurse or consultant. I got diagnosed with RRMS in 2015 but have experienced symptoms since around 2000. I had my first relapse since diagnosed in February this year, I recovered fine with steroids and even though...

Kesimpta. Injection no 1

Yay. My first Kesimpta injection is all done. So far I'm feeling absolutely fine with only a tiny red pin prick where the needle went in. Compared to Copaxone, which was horrendous, this was painless. Didn't feel the needle go in at all. I would recommend this treatment anyday. Just hope the second ...

I'm happy 😊 😃

At long last after 5 months of waiting for these Kesimpta injections they are being delivered on Wednesday. I'm a happy bunny. These past 5 months have been horrendous. I just hope it's better than Copaxone. Fingers crossed 🤞 🤞

Tysabri?

Hi all. I’ve been on and off Tysabri for about 7 years now, but this summer feel that it is not really helping to keep me stable anymore. I’ve tried lemtrada, ocrevus beta interferon fingolimod and copaxone. Out of them all only copaxone and Tysabri gave some stability. I think I have moved into spm...
