% suppressed
How much of your immune system do you think is not suppressed? If you know about some research or info I'd love to read.
Perhaps 20-40% I'd guess is active seeing as treatment is labeled as causing a low immune system.

@shannon_ohara , wow, that's a question and a half! I believe it would be better asked of an academic audience rather than a wobble (our collective noun!) of MSers
I have a bit of a hyper active immune system...so bored, and looking for a true adversary, that it attacked itself is what I kind of joke about. I never get sick...and can boldly say that and still don't get sick. And on top of that I am on Ocrevus which depletes my B cells to reduce autoimmune reactions. This actually causes some of the biggest issues with Covid-19. From what I have seen those on Ocrevus have weathered this virus pretty well. There isn't more risk of contracting or issues with this virus due to having MS but there are some DMTs that impact your immune system. You can check that out on Dr Boster's you tube channel or what Dr G has put out. All good stuff that was posted several weeks ago by Dominics. So while it seems that many people in our "wobble" seem prone to getting sick I suspect there are many like me that have an unsually robust immune system...kind of like the general population.
