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

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...

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...

Does anyone have any idea whether having tattoos is a bad idea for MSers? I've been told to avoid them whilst on steroids as we are immunosuppressed and 'sitting ducks' for infection. I've also been told to check the metal content as I have regular MRIs but just looking for some peace of mind befo...

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/

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 ...

After watching C4 News last night Mrs S and I turned to one another, exchanged a look and decided to step it up a gear. She is immunosuppressed with mercaptopurin for Crohns disease. The more we can get done today and tomorrow the better. We live in a flat. Today I am picking up a 99.9% filtering...
