I don’t get on here much but has anyone ever had immunology therapy? I’ve been getting sick with the flu every 6-8 weeks and takes me forever to get better.

immunosuppressed or immunocompromised?

Hi all, I'm taking kesimpta, does this mean I'm immunosuppressed or immunocompromised. Also, If I've had my childhood measles vaccine will I still have immunity?

Tysabri infusion- am I now immunocompromised?

I've just had my first tysabri infusion today, but I'm a little foggy on the finer details. Am I now immunocompromised? Like, am I more at risk of catching COVID/flu/general colds etc?

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...

Immunosuppression

What sensible changes did you make when you started your disease management therapy to minimise your risks of picking up infections without being scared of the world?

Ocrevus and immunocompromise

Hi all. I'm aware this is a very similar post to one I've just seen but wanting some feedback if possible. I have just had a meeting with my MS nurse going over all the info on Ocrevus as part of a pre-assessment process to go onto the DMT. One thing I wasn't told by my neuro that I'm now worryin...

Immunosuppressed Risks

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...

Immunosuppressants

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 ...
