DMTs during COVID -19

Hello All- Just wondering...Is everyone still taking their DMTs through all of this? I am on Gilenya. I am afraid to stop of course, but also worried about continuing. Advice please. Melanie

It really depends on your DMT, your risk, and how comfortable you feel with it. I think @stumbler posted a link to an MS Trust article on the different DMTs and COVID19. I’m on an extended dosing schedule of Tysabri. I did get my infusion as scheduled, after discussing with my neurologist. My family is isolating as much as possible too. Telework, only doing delivery or pickup, social distancing, kids out of school/daycare, etc. The nurses said they’ve stopped most Ocrevus infusions, depending on patient decisions. I don’t know about Gilenya.

@melanie_edenfield_1 You should have a read of this. It's all explained, but keep taking them unless you're told by a doctor or nurse... https://sites.google.com/giovannoni.net/clinicspeak-dmt/covid-19-ms/covid-19-questions/q-should-i-self-isolate-because-i-have-ms?authuser=0
