Hi everyone, I was recently diagnosed with MS at the beginning of September and my consultant has suggested that I begin taking Cladribine. I was wondering what other people’s experiences were with taking this?

Hi @Kat.P 
I started taking Cladribine at the end of August (week 1), and have today started week 5 - for me personally it has been good; a little bit of tiredness and a few aches in week 1, but nothing concerning.
My MS nurse has said that I may get a little more fatigued this week, but I may not - not everyone gets side effects apparently.
On a positive note, I am feeling more ‘clear headed’ after taking the meds - which is something I haven’t felt in a long long time - I’m used to feeling really overanxious and not being able to make decisions easily, but I’ve noticed a change for the better.
Hope that helps a bit, and good luck with the meds, I’m sure you’ll be fine x

That is good to hear. I am not on that drug myself (I’m on natalizumab) but have heard only good reports, and it is one of the big-hitters that really can stop aggressive MS in its tracks, which is just what the doctor ordered!
