Looking for
something specific?

I recently had my first dose of Ocrevus and I'm doubting my decision for medication. I'm concerned about the increased risks of hospitalisations, infection and overall poor health. For those who have been on Ocrevus for a long time, have you noticed an increase in poor health or infections leading t...

I'm a lucky boy and get to have my second covid jab today. My first one after starting Ocrevus. I heard its a wild ride. Post your experiences here for the lurkers and information seekers x

Hi all! Can anyone share how life is after having the immune system prevented from working as effective as it should be? Do you get lots of colds or infections? I’m thinking to start either Ocrevus or kesimpta (there are pretty much the same really). I work as a primary school teacher and I’m a bit ...

So I guess with Ocrevus I'm immunosuppressed now. I'm not really getting a solid answer from any medical professionals in how seriously I need to be with this. Wash my hands and wear a mask? Stay away from snotty kids? Become a hermit? Any advice is good advice. Would also take silly answers to wi...

Hi all, I’m due to start Kesimpta next week and was just wondering about how DMT’s affect lifestyle. I work in the hospital and was wondering if it’s still safe to do so? Also do DMTs affect travelling? In general do you have to be super careful for infection?

Hello fellow MSers, does anybody have any tips on fighting colds while we take certain DMTs which lower our immune system? I had Omicron about 4 months ago and thankfully recovered, but since then I have started Kesimpta and have just finished my first month of injections. For the last 3 weeks I ha...

Hi all, MS expert Professor Gavin Giovannoni aka Prof G from Barts is taking part in this webinar from the ZOE COVID study team (they run the big UK COVID symptom app) talking about vaccines and immunosuppressed people, including MSers. It's going out on 28th October at 3pm but will be on youtube fo...

Spotted this interesting-looking webinar from the British Society for Immunology on "COVID-19 vaccines: how effective are they in people with weakened immune systems?" Might be of interest to some here, especially if you're on an immunosuppressing DMT. https://www.immunology.org/events/covid-19-v...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for advice about Ocrevus and immunosuppression, and would love to hear people's honest experiences. I’m newly diagnosed with RRMS and have agreed on Ocrevus with my neuro team. This is what I wanted and I feel confident in my choice; my doctors feel the same as my lumbar ...

Hi there, is anyone aware if Tecfidera is an immunosuppresant? As far as I'm aware it's on the lower scale compared to other drugs? If anyone has any information, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Katie
