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.

Has anyone tried lionsmane with MS?

I've just started using lionsmane, but looking at types of people who shouldn't take it, MS sufferers are in that category due to it stimulating your immune system. I know its only early days (3 to be precise) but 18 months of Brian fog has disappeared 🤯 I haven't felt this wide awake for a long ti...

Hi! I'm recently diagnosed and have been given some treatment options to choose between. I think I've narrowed it down to either Ocrevus or Briumvi. Anyone have advice or experiences to help me decide?

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) back in 2018. Since then, I’ve been managing my condition with medications, specifically Baclofen and Pregabalin. Fortunately, I don’t need any other treatments at the moment. While the right side of my body remains weak and I walk with a cane, I am able to carry out all of my daily activities, including driving, spending time with friends, and fully enjoying life—ups and downs included.I recently started exercising, and I feel much better. I truly believe that with consistent physical activity, I can return to a more normal state, though I know I have a long road ahead of me.Thank you for your ongoing support. I’m grateful for the strength and progress I’ve made and look forward to the journey ahead.
