Nothing big to ask or update on, but started on Kesimpta today and all going okay 
A tiny bit headache-y but on the whole, no big side effects yet.
Had a bit of trepidation around the needle but didn’t even feel it go in! Apparently it’s a neonatal needle i.e. the same size used on babies, so really didn’t hurt at all for me. Had to double check it even went in! Wanted to share this in case anyone is weighing up between different DMTs.
Just wanted to share a positive experience - have been dosing up on ibuprofen/paracetamol too which has also hopefully helped, so fingers crossed that neo other big side effects hit!

That’s really encouraging to hear, thank you for sharing your experience. I am due to start on Kesimpta in the next month or so and a little nervous. I’ve found your post really encouraging (especially the bit about the tiny needle!)

So glad to hear it’s been helpful @lnp8acr - I was also nervous ahead of starting. Had really braced myself (especially as someone who is not the biggest fan of needles) so almost ended up being anti-climatic 
Hope you have a positive experience too and make sure you get yourself a nice treat for afterwards!

Yes - Kesimpta’s been great for me. Glad it’s working for you too.
I like the fact that the injection pen is so easy to use. Yes, it stings a bit, but it’s so convenient, over so fast and how much better than relapses and disability accumulation…
