Similarities
So Im new here, I guess I just had a couple questions. I got diagnosed with MS when I was 14 I used to take Tecfidera but the side effects were getting really bad so I stopped taking it a couple years ago. But I seemed to have more relapses on Tecfidera than I have in the past couple years off of it. So what medications have worked best for you? I also haven't been able to work a whole lot because of my MS, so has anyone ever applied for disability and what were their experiences with it? Thank you in advance!
I was on Copaxone for like 11 years with occasional relapses that resolved quickly with a predisone pump bomb but then my Dr said it wasn't holding me anymore and I switched to Rebif a few years ago. The high dose affected my liver (you must be tested regularly) and I had flu like symptoms so I was switched to the lower dose. With that I haven't had any new lesions and feel ok and liver is stable. Everyone is different. Currently I am having gait and balance issues but I think that is due to complications from the hip surgeries I had a couple of years ago...nothing new on my MRIs so they will be doing EMG tests to track it down
I am also very curious about the success of applying for disability and for what kind of jobs it was approved for and what kind of or extent of disability the person had...may be a new or different thread.
