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...

Having mild infection signs and signs of hipothermia (temperature below 35). AI is driving me nuts with its: "you have to seek emergency services immediately" talk. What are your experiences with Sepsis/ infections? I'm still new to being immunosuppressed (Mavenclad Y1W15). How do you monitor yourse...

Anyone been invited to get the shingles vaccine? It’s usually only for over 65s but also for immunosuppressed people, had it on Monday and I’ve been absolutely floored with horrid body aches, joint pain, fever and migraines. I’m wondering do vaccines affect people worse if they are immunosuppressed?

I got the results today, with my 1 year anniversary coming up on Tysabri next month. I love this treatment and I don’t want to have to change but I will have to. I don’t want to be immunosuppressed I’m worried about getting ill or the prolonged use and risk of cancer. Anyone else had this and wo...

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...
