Hi all, I was diagnosed with RRMS on 7th Dec and saw the MS nurse on 21st Dec. I now have to decide which DMD to have and I’m so unsure. Can anyone tell me their experiences of different treatments. Thanks Helen
hi helen
it is your decision, i know that you wish it was the neuro’s but it is yours.
why not look at the efficacy of the different ones.
then look at the possible side effects.
make a shortlist from that.
you have a choice of injecting, infusion, tablets.
the 2 infusion ones are 2nd line treatments and can be kept in reserve in case the first line treatment of your choice fails.
the infusion ones are tysabri and lemrada.
i chose copaxone first because although a daily injection it didnt have flu-like symptoms.
after 6 years i had severe injection site reactions so now i’m on tecfidera which is so easy.
find out more about the others for yourself.
i’ve heard that the MS Trust do a helpful leaflet on deciding which treatment is best.
good luck

ps look on it as choosing your weapon to fight back against ms.
