MS Conscript

My first post, so let me introduce myself, in case it helps someone who’s closer to the beginning of this difficult journey. I’ve had RRMS for over 20 years and been on DMTs for around 15. I’m still walking and working, but get tired easily, and I still drive, just with a blue badge in the car. So,...

AITA

I’ve got my first appt tomorrow with the MS nurse, I’ve read up on DMTs and pretty much made my decision. I’m happy to hear what my neurologist recommends based on his meeting with the MS MDT I’ve got a list of questions and a list of symptoms but my main question is - when can I start treatment! ...

Question: Why there is not enough research, trials, opportunities options and Medication (DMTs) for PPMS? I know the PPMS is not as high as RRMS but everything is focus to RRMS. Eileen Figueroa Houston TX

DMT CHANGE

When I was diagnosed with MS the only option I was given for DMT was Tecfidera, my last MRI was stable but I only had an MRI on brain & neck & not spine in the last 6 months I’ve starting to have back pain & weakness & my walking has got worse, I’m just wondering why I wasn’t given any options?

Has anyone had a baby with MS? Did you breastfeed/bottle feed? How soon after did you go back on your DMT?

I've just been diagnosed even though I've been attending the MS clinic for a few years. My neurologist has suggested I research dmt on the ms website and look at the various treatments. Any advice on DMT?

DMT's

Has anyone improved from taking DMTS ? I tried 4 or 5 over the years and all of them have made me worse. They now want to put me on an infusion every 6 months, but it kills my white blood cells!! Surely only going to make me relapse more
