Theraphy switching

Hi, I was wondering did anyone had similar...? So, since Jan 2023 I was taking Tysabri, and I did take 12 infusions. In Jan 2024 I did switch to Aubagio. Now I am taking the medication for not even full 2 weeks, and I did have first signs of relaps... I did 4 weeks wash out from Tysabri, so eventual...

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...

DMT switch

Hi everyone, My dad passed away recently and I’ve been all over the place. I’m due to switch DMT from tysabri to Ocrevus or Kesimpta in September after my washout now and I’m petrified of a relapse (I’ve been completely stable for three years nearly). I have a young toddler and honestly it’s making...

Is anyone here switched from Aubagio to Kesimpta and under Dr Mistry from the QE in Birmingham? I've done the washout, had my bloods done. All ok. I'm now waiting for the QE to get in touch for my consent for treatment. It's been 5 months on the 27th of this month since I took any meds for ms and my...

Will be glad when back on treatment

Will be so glad when I start Kesimpta. Haven't taken any dmt since stopping Aubagio on 27th February and my legs are not good at all. It amazes me these people who take no dmt and have no problems at all. My legs ache, I'm constantly tired and all in all feel worse than when I take a dmt. Washout do...

Swapping DMT

Hi everyone! I just wondered if anyone had any experiences to share of the washout period when swapping DMTs? Currently on tysabri with a high JCV so need to look at swapping to possibly ocrevus or kesimpta. Is there a period where I need to be aware of catching infections from others? How does the...

Aubagio to Kesimpta & Syptoms

Hi, everyone. I’m currently not taking any DMT, having stopped Aubagio at the beginning of this year and have gone through the washout process before starting Kesimpta next week. Has anyone been through the same process and experienced a resurgence of symptoms in this in-between time? Have your sy...
