Can anybody tell me about their experience with the loading weeks? Did anyone feel that their symptoms got worse during the 4th week, after their loading shots? Also have you found kesimpta to be a good fit as a DMT? Thanks!

Been to see my ms nurse this morning about my treatment. Hopefully will be starting Kesimpta soon after the washout for Aubagio and blood tests. Has anyone done the washout to get Aubagio out of your body?

Has anyone on here been on Kesimpta before? I am currently having Ocrevus infusions every 6 months and have been for about 4 years. I have had no relapses since I have been on Ocrevus but my MS nurse mentioned to me the other day about Kesimpta. It would make things a lot easier for me if I could ta...

I noticed Kesimpta was not on the list of treatments when I signed up. I don't know much about it except that it works on B3 cells. As soon as I get it approved through my insurance they have their own pharmacy that will overnight it to me and it's just a matter of making a doctor's appointment to c...
