Looking for
something specific?

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 ...

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 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...

Am I right in thinking that Ocrevus is an immunosuppressant whereas Lemtrada is an Immune Reconstitution Therapy ?

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

Hi there, I'm in the final stages of diagnosis for MS, but from the tests it's looking near certain that, that's what it is. I was looking at some pamphlets for DMT's today that I took from the neuro's office, as well as reading online. I don't want to upset/scare anyone with this post but it does ...

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...

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

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?
