I have read that approximately 3-10% of people with MS are oligoclonal band negative ( from the lumbar puncture/spinal fluid results). With my own lumbar puncture next week, it would be really interesting to know how many people that have a firm diagnosis of MS were oligoclonal band negative and positive and whether this has affected symptoms to date/new lesions etc. If you were oligoclonal band negative, how were you diagnosed? MRI findings and symptoms? Or other tests? I think my neurologist mentioned that if I am oligoclonal band negative, they may consider doing something called a CTPET scan…

Hair loss on Kesimpta

So I've searched on the old posts through here on Kesimpta and hair thinning/hair loss, and it seems to be a thing. My nurse said hair loss is not a side affect on Kesimpta and its stress. But I think it is related and maybe not enough reported cases. How are you Kesimpta jabbers finding it?

I know this may seem off topic

So since my boyfriend told his mom about my ms. She told him how I am sick and he should basically leave me after 8 years of relationship.

Ok insurance denied OCREVUS but they approved kesimpta. Problem is I don’t have the extra $2800 a month that it’s gonna cost me. Anybody know of a way to get help with the cost of meds!!! This is ridiculous!! I mean that’s $33,000 a year!!.
