Hi all
Just had a telephone call from MS nurse,
She gave me a list of options.
I am a bit unsure now, thought the options would just be injections;
List is
Pegridy
Rebif
avonex
brayia copazone
Tecfidera
Vumerithy
Aubagio
feedback on the above would be great
Hi Teddy,
Have you tried looking at the drug comparison tool?. It won’t give you people’s experiences on them but it is very aesthetically pleasing and easily digestible to see the differences between them and the possible side effects etc?
Hi CBC
yes i have taken a look.
It seems to be less effective treatment v more side effects
You’ve got it in a nutshell: generally, the more effective the drug, the higher the risk of unwanted side-effects.
My approach has always been to go for the most effective treatment available to me and cross the side-effects bridge when I come to it.
I am thinking of Vumerithy, new treatment but very much like Tecfidera
After thinking about it for a number of days I am still not sure.
Read all the info been on the ms dmt tool.
I know only me can pick, and i am lucky i have options.
I’ve been taking Tecfidera for 3.5 years. Had slight flushing when i just started but nothing since. Bloods every 3 months. I’ve had no issues at all. I take x1 tablet twice a day with food, so breakfast and dinner. Best of all, no relapses and MRIs all clear. I’d definitely recommend it. Good luck in your choice.
Thank you for your reply. I really wish i could have another MRI before starting. I have only one issue which is a slighly numb face. Been a year from last mri. If i have had changes on MRI i would go on a more effective DMT
