✅ Bad news: there is currently no cure for MS.
✅ But good news: DMTs (disease-modifying therapies) can significantly reduce the amount and severity of disability progression.
✅ Time matters. Evidence shows that starting treatment ASAP is crucial in stopping more nerve damage from building up over time.
✅ DMTs fall into three camps: self-injectable, infusion, or oral. They work by suppressing certain cells in your immune system. Basically, "hey, quit being overactive".
✅ You can discuss with your neurologist to discuss which DMT is best for you. It's usually a middle ground between how effective the drug is and your lifestyle.
