Moving to Ireland

I'm contemplating a move to the Republic of Ireland. I was born in Northern Ireland, but have lived in England since age 18 (37 years now...). I know nothing about the health service in the South. Can any locals tell me how it works? I know it's hell trying to get a G.P. appointment in England, ...

Kesimpta no.1 💉

Hi everyone, happy Sunday! I’m having to switch from Tysabri after 8 month because although I’ve not had any new symptoms, I’ve had a new tiny lesion. I’m now going to be having Kesimpta! I had my last Tysabri on Tuesday and I’m now in a 6 week wash out period while my funding goes through for Kes...

Relapse 😞

Unfortunately I am having my first relapse in 2.5 years and I am still on tysabri (going into ocrevus in a few weeks) I feel angry as I was kind of in denial as everything was going to so great. My father passed away in May and I thought since I didn’t have a relapse then I’d be safe but here it is...

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.

Emotional/hormonal rollercoaster?

I'm almost 4 months into Tysabri infusions. And have noticed there is a definite drop off or "crap gap" of about 10 days prior to each infusion. Where all my symptoms seem to flare up and most prominently due to the point in my cycle I started the infusions, this drop hits at just around the same po...

Covid & Antivirals

Just thought it was worth sharing my experience in case anyone (in the UK) is unfortunate enough to catch Covid now that it's doing the rounds again. I did a lateral flow test as soon as I felt unwell (high temperature, headache etc) and got straight on to 111 when I got my positive Covid result. ...

Tysabri not working

Hi everyone, I’ve been on Tysabri since January, however I’ve had a new lesion in my recent scan and need to move to another treatment. I have rapidly evolving severe rrms. Has anyone had Tysabri and it’s not worked? If so what did you choose to switch to?
