Help please, experience of AHSCT
Hello All 🙂
Well where do I start... just a bit of history:
I was diagnosed with RRMS at the age of 15
Initially rejected DMDs as I was convinced that I was fine and everyone was wrong...........anyway fast forward to today (36 years old).. I have had all following meds till failure:
1) Rebiff44: 3.5 years
2)Avonex: 6 Months
3) Mytox: 2 years
4) Tysabri: 7 years ,84 infusions... JC Povitive Jan 14'
5) Gilenia 5 years
Had a severe relapse early May 2019 pumped with two courses of methylprednisolone a 3 day & followed by a 5 day course.
As I have severe RR MS, progressed to EDSS 6.5 and Gilenia failed after five years I have now been offered AHSCT. I have already seen my haematologist and in a real pickle.
Sorry for all the history ....
Has anyone been through AHSCT,
*how did it effect you?
*what were the pros and cons?
*what was your edss before & after?
*in hindsight would you do it again?
*any other words of wisdom? ;-)
THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH IN ADVANCE !!!
