Alright so I’ll keep it short and sweet, im suppose to start my first DMD (Dimethyl fumarate) I’ve got them but reading through the huge leaflet has left me scared.

I thought I'd give a brief update and ask about the new dmd

I am looking to change back to my original neuro who I should never have left and my gp has contacted him so hopefully things will work out as I should never have changed over something so trivial as a bedside manner,They had just diagnosed me with lupus also at that time as well as MS so fair to s...
