MS treatments

Which MS treatment works best for you?

[SarahL2491]

none of mine are on your list, but is this a question or a survey or what

[immisceo]

Mine isn't on the list either. But treatments, and how they work, can be a very individual thing. What one person develops antibodies against, another won't. What one person finds ideal and easy to adhere to like an infrequent injection, is another's insurmountable phobia.

And the truth is, over the course of our MS 'career', many if not most of us have to revisit our treatments from time to time when they are no longer the best fit. There are more than 10 approved treatments now, and more in the pipelines (I'm on a drug study, and Kyle above is on a next generation off-label treatment), so at least there are a lot of options if and when that time comes.

Picking a treatment with MS can feel really complex, but it's doable! With information and knowing our own preferences, we and our neurologists hash it out.

Thank you for your time. Any an all help is good. I truly appreciate it.

Hi Ed -

I've been on two DMD's but neither one is on you list :-) My first DMD was Tysabri, which worked for 20 months and then stopped working. My second, and current, DMD is Rituxan. I've had two cycles over about the last 12 months and so far so good!

Still trying to find one that works for me. Have been on copaxone, avonex, gilenya and talking to my neuro about plegridy tomorrow.
