If I can ask, what are you on now, and what happened that took you off of Tysabri? Feel free to not answer - it may be a bit sensitive to ask. I'm just trying to understand this all better since this is very new for my family. | ||

It's fine, ask me anything you'd like! I was diagnosed 10 years ago and had my first (luckily only so far) relapse 11.5 years ago, so I'm very used to this and remember the first years very well. They're scary. I'm on Kesimpta now, and I like it. It's worked well for me. I went off of the Tysabri due to issues with getting it paid for: while there was assistance for the medicine itself, there was not assistance for the administration of the medicine, so I moved to a DMT that I could self-administer. We tried Tecfidera first (this was...I want to say 5 or 6ish years ago), and then when the side effects of that proved to be a problem, we decided to start me on Kesimpta. I've been on the Kesimpta for years at this point, and it seems to be working well, though of course it's hard to tell with a DMT since no news is good news. | ||
