Went to see my consultant a couple of weeks ago’s and it was agreed for me to go onto the disease modifying therapy. My nurse has just been over today and she has showed me all of the drugs and how they are adminsitered. We have whitled it down to two but I am still unsure if it should be rebif or copaxone.
I really want to know how if you are on them how you coped with them ad what the side effects were like. Many thanks K x
Rebif is meant to work the best (that’s what my ms nurse said)
Hi hopeful
I was diagnosed with MS in June last year. It was decided that I should go on disease modifying therapy. My MS nurse went through all the options in great detail and we decided that Copaxone would be the best option for me. I have been injecting Copaxone daily since October and as time has gone on site irritation has got less. My main problem is that Ihave very little body fat which has reduced my site options for injecting. Also I have to be careful of the depth of the needle because if I accidentally hit a muscle it feels like it has been punched really hard and the feeling lasts all day. I have had no other side effects and have been really happy with the support I have received from the specialist nurse. Making any desicion about treatment is hard but rely on good advice from your MS nurse (they know their stuff).
