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?

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 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

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, 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...

Has anyone been told that the criteria for receiving the Covid vaccine changes every year? I rang my doctors to book a covid vaccine to be told I'm too young and I'm not eligible. Doesn't matter that I'm immune suppressed by being on Kesimpta. I managed to have a covid vaccine at the pharmacy yest...

Hi All, I am counting down to immunosuppression. I have read that vaccines will still work but be less effective so I am getting all that I can in the 8 weeks before I commit to a DMT. My action plan has been to get one vaccine a week. I am 50 and diagnosed this year. In preparation for possibly...

Regarding to my last post I went to the A&E to get checked out and guess what? It turned out I had Covid 19+ pneumonia and a lower respiratory tract infection😭I genuinely forget I’m immunospurssed sometimes because that combination truly made me laugh out of shock. No wonder I felt so sick AND ou...

Apparently for pregnant women and older adults only. I'm not an expert, though I wonder why immunosuppressed people are not included like they are for Covid and Flu. Does anyone know? https://www.nhs.uk/vaccinations/rsv-vaccine/
