Hi everyone, newly diagnosed but have been having symptoms for 6 years. I'm am choosing a DMT and thinking Tysabri or Kesimpta. Any advice? Anyone a young mum and managing to keep this at bay for a long time?
I signed up for the StarMS Trial yesterday, but I also have to choose a DMT in case I don't get the stem cell transplant (or don't get on the trial based on my test results).
I am trying to decide between the 6 monthly infusion(ocrelizumab) or the monthly injection (Kesimpta/ofatumumab)
I am leani...
Hi ! Just looking for a bit of advice or opinions on which DMT would be best or people's experience with them, and just to have a bit of a rant I suppose. I'm 29, just been diagnosed with highly active relapsing remitting MS, likely had MS for about 6 years. I've been offered Cladribine, Ocrevus, Ke...

Hi Everyone,
So I've posted on here once before and haven't been very active on here since so my apologies for that and thank you to everyone that replied to me. I think I've been trying to ignore the possible (inevitable) diagnosis heading my way and trying to live life normally while I can. Howev...

Given that there are over 20 different options right now, it can feel a lot like cramming for the final in Your Future Is at Stake 101. The good news? The Multiple Sclerosis Association of America just launched The MSAA Tr...
Hello everyone, I hope you’re all doing well!
I’ve recently been diagnosed with MS, and to be honest, I’m still massively struggling to get my head around it. One day I feel okay and feel as though I’m starting to accept it, the next day I’m breaking down wondering why me🙁
I’ve had a couple of t...
To be considering starting a DMT when my MS is currently really stable and I feel well?
I’ve had 1 relapse in 5 years which I have fully recovered from. I’ve always been pro treatment and always said I would start a DMT as soon as I could because everything I’ve read says the earlier the better. I...
Hi all,
Seeking advice.
Has anyone been taken off Tecfidera due to developing lymphopenia?
If so, which DMT did you try next, and did your lymphocyte count remain stable with your next choice of treatment for RRMS?
Anyone had the same adverse effect happening repeatedly despite trying differ...
Hi everyone. Just wondering which DMT to ask for. They all seem to have side effects and I don’t want to spend a lot of time feeling rough after taking a drug. I was thinking of asking for Ocrevus. Based on high efficacy, low side effects and frequency. Has the pandemic affected this drug because it...
