There are now 11 licensed treatments for multiple sclerosis, commonly known as DMTs (disease modifying therapies). These are available for people with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis and range from Tysabri, Lemtrada, oral therapies, to copaxone and the interferons. Speak with those living with MS to find out first hand what it is like to be on a particular treatment, or, if you have a question for an expert, check out our MS Reporters videos. DMTs are not a cure for MS, but they can have impacts on relapse rates, disease progression, MRI activity and long term brain health.

Bladder issue treatment

Has anyone had success with treatment for overactive bladder/urgency/incontinence? I have tried pelvic floor PT and two different medications that have not helped much. The next step is trying sacral neuromodulation (Medtronic), which I’m optimistic about but wondering if anyone here has tried this?...

MS Treatment

Hello! 😊 I’m almost at the end of my two year period of taking Tysabri (Natalizumab). I have high levels of the JC virus, therefore, I’m afraid to continue taking Tysabri after the two year mark. Has anyone been in this situation, and what was your experience? Did you stop the infusions completely ...
