Ocrevus, does it cause bad stomach side effects?

I have been told I can pick briumvi, ocrevus or kesimpta but I think I’m leaning towards the first two because honestly giving myself injections sounds terrifying. I’ve heard ocrevus has more of a chance of causing gastrointestinal issues compared to briumvi and I was just wondering if that is true ...

MS's root cause

Something doesn't make any sense to me. To call our bodies stupid because all of the sudden attacks itself is ludicrous. Our bodies are incredibly sophisticated machines and to simply call it "auto" immune disease is completely and falsely wrong. What other conditions occurred because our body was w...

Saw this and wanted to share : A microscopic discovery may quietly change how multiple sclerosis drugs are designed and why their side effects happen at all.For years, doctors have relied on immune-modulating drugs to slow multiple sclerosis (MS), even though many come with troubling side effects affecting the heart, lungs, or nervous system. Now, scientists from Weill Cornell Medicine and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center have uncovered why some of those side effects occur and how future drugs could avoid them.Using ultra-high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy, researchers mapped the exact molecular structure of siponimod, a next-generation MS drug, as it binds to its immune target: the S1P1 receptor. This receptor acts like a gatekeeper, controlling whether aggressive immune cells escape lymph nodes and attack nerve insulation in the brain and spinal cord.The breakthrough? Scientists discovered precisely which parts of the drug help it hit the right receptor and which subtle features cause it to accidentally bind to similar receptors linked to abnormal heart rhythms and other side effects. With this structural “blueprint,” future MS drugs could be engineered to lock onto the correct target more tightly while avoiding the rest.Even more intriguing, the study reveals how nearly identical natural lipids can behave completely differently inside the body, shaping immune, brain, and lung function. That insight may ripple beyond MS, influencing treatments for lupus, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease and even lung disease.If medicines could be redesigned at the molecular level to spare the rest of the body, would you accept stronger immune control with fewer side effects?

Flu’d up definitely causes havoc!

Anyone else diagnosed with Spinal MS? I had never heard of it until I was diagnosed a year ago. I have cists from my C1 to C7 of my spine. Causes paralysis on my right side and severe nerve pain that is like seering burning needle like pain in my left. My eyes, hearing and memory has been greatly affected too.
