DMD

I got the info on Kesimpta and Ocrevus yesterday. Theres alot to read. I find Ocrevus info very easy user friendly. I can get dexterity dropping things so I don't know if I trust myself using an injection pen. I'm leaning to Ocrevus. I like that you can eat snacks while you have the IV drip! I've sa...

DMD

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’ve found myself saying I’ll start taking them but another day goes by and I don’t take them. I’m just looking for others to share the...

DMD

Just wondering if anyone has said no to medication and treated their MS solely with diet? Is it better to take the opinion of "treat as early as possible" or "wait for more progression and then treat" Just trying to get as much info on this so I have all questions prepared for when I next meet w...

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.

Hello legends haven't been on for a while just thought I check in I have a positive up date on my DMD and finally after a constant battle I am pleased to say I have started Kesimpta feeling a little rough with it but it's my 1st dose so it can only get better in time. Is there any pointers out there about dealing with side affect as I'm doing the regular paracetamol etc so other advice would ve great many thanks ???

New DMD offered - Ponvory

Just wondering if anyone has been offered Ponvory as a DMD? How has it been? I was offered it today and given a leaflet to take home with me. The side effects seem too good to be true

Neuro appointment today DMD advice

So just seen the neurologist and it’s confirmed as Tumification MS and rapid evolving MS (having had 3 episodes in 2 years). Reading everyone’s stories I think I’m lucky as it’s only been 7 weeks since my first scan and I have seen the neurologist and neurosurgeons. Now to look at DMD options, I’m l...
