Which therapy are you currently using?

It is being recommended that I switch from Copaxone (or any shot) to Tysabri, Tecfidera or Gilenya. What are you guys using?

Rituxan (rituximab) is my DMD of choice.

I am on tysabri and get an infusion once a month. It has kept me relapse free for 16 months.

Before tysabri i was on copaaxone for a year and had five serious relapses. Good lluck,

I started with Tecfidera but had an allergic reaction to it.   You start with 120 mg and then go to 240 mg.  I was OK with the 120 mg but once I changed to 240 mg, my face and eyes swelled up.  I looked like I was in a bar room brawl without the bruises.  My Dr. has now changed me to Plegridy.  I am just hoping that I don't have another allergic reaction to it.   Best of luck to you.
