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.

Any advice?

I've seen stories about other people who have gotten diagnosed at a young age, but do any of you have advice for it? I've spent the last 5 years going from Dr to Dr in multiple different states to find out what was wrong as my health was rapidly declining and only recently (last August) found out I ...

Scared, and looking for guidance.

I have always felt, off. My entire life. A few weeks ago, I woke up to numbness on the left side of my body. Over the course of a week, and numerous hospitals turning me away, the numbness progressed from part of my head, to the entirety of my left side down to my foot and excruciating pain in the b...

Hi, I got diagnosed in January and started on medication after a very long wait about a month ago, unfortunately I had a very severe reaction to copaxone....I need to start another treatment however it's limited what I can take due to the fact me and my partner are trying for another baby just wondering what anyone else is or has taken whilst trying to conceive? My ms nurse keeps trying to push the infusion but due to the severe reaction I had after only 4 jabs I don't fancy 6 months worth at a time going into my body. Thanks for reading

Infusions at home?

Has anyone gotten an ocrevus infusion at home? I did my first 2 treatments of 300mg with no problems or reactions. Insurance won’t cover me getting my next (600mg) at the hospital so they recommended at home.

ecently had my MRI results and (as I kinda suspected after a rough few months) had new lesions.I'm currently on Plegridy (moved from Tecfidera as I'm JCV positive and my lymphocytes lowered a lot). Tecfidera worked ok for me, but Plegridy obviously hasn't been as effective. Due to the hard few months I've really isolated myself from people (some I'm unsure even how to reach out to again now) and live alone alone some of the time when my four children are at their mum's. Positive news is, they've mentioned Ocrevus and Kesimpta, which are obviously higher efficacy treatments. Could I ask for any advice people have around these DMTs, please? If you've seen me ask on Facebook or Instagram, then feel free to ignore and not repeat yourself.
