Newly diagnosed? Choosing a DMT

Barts have kindly published a 4 part series I have written on the choosing of a DMT for newly diagnosed patients. In a shameless bit of self-promotion... :) The 4th and final part is here: https://multiple-sclerosis-research.org/2019/05/guest-post-part-four-of-choosing-a-dmt/

Very thought provoking, @dominics .

@RMDaniels

@dominics Your article resonates about the patient/neurologist relationship here in the US as well. Your article could have easily been written about my diagnosis in February of this year. I couldn’t believe how little the doctor said to me about the entire process. My personal take on it is that the doctors don’t have any comfort level for what’s going to work/not work for any given patient, nor do they want to lead us down a path where the side effects develop & leave us altogether worse off than just having MS (in those rare cases where this does actually happen). No matter, it still puts the patient in a lurch to be so overwhelmed with such a life altering decision.
