Poll: What was your main consideration when choosing an MS treatment?

Hey peeps 👋 Billy from Shift.ms here. I wanted to get your thoughts and opinions as we've had lots of new members join us recently. I feel like I got quite lucky with picking my MS treatment. My neurologist in London recommended three DMTs to me (Ocrevus, Tysabri, Tecfidera) and patiently explaine...

New treatments question 💊! Have you heard about BTK inhibitors?

A year ago Professor Gavin Giovannoni published a blog about a new group of treatments in development called BTK inhibitors (link in comments). With multiple trials ongoing, Gavin wondered if these treatments could “usher in the next generation of innovative MS treatments”. At the time, the post...

Post Ocrevus treatment

I had my first Ocrevus half dose on Thursday and was fine during the infusion and for a few hours after. That evening, I had a headache and for the next morning also. Now, I have a cold. Is this all normal? Has anyone else felt the same? I wish I had been given more info post infusion.

In need of treatment advice - Kesimpta vs Ocrevus

I had a call from my MS Nurse to say that my neurologist wants to re-test, so I have to go in again for bloods. However, sh...

I’ve noticed I feel sicky about 1-2 hours after taking my tablets lasting anywhere between 1 hour to 4 hours. I’ve al...

Treatment question?

Hi all, I am concerned that my current treatment is not working for me. I am currently on Ocrevus. Any advice as to what to try next? I’m thinking something similar 🤷‍♀️.

Hi everyone - how have you managed to get time off work for your planned treatments? Have you been able to take this as paid sick leave or have you had to use annual leave/unpaid leave for this? I’ve been told I have to have further treatment but my employer is saying that it would come under our ‘a...
