It’s wild to think that when I was first diagnosed, there were only a handful of options—and now there are over 20 disease-modifying therapies for MS. I’ve tried a few over the years, and it’s definitely not one-size-fits-all. Hearing what’s worked (or hasn’t) for others in here has been super helpful. Curious—has anyone tried one of the newer meds or been part of a clinical trial?
Wow the Feb. newsletter was super informative on medications for MS. Highly recommend people reading that on the 'Newsletter' tab.
With so many MS treatments out there, it helps to hear real experiences.
💊 What treatment are you on, and how has it worked for you?
DMTs (Ocrevus, Tysabri, Kesimpta, etc.
Alternative therapies
What’s been helpful (or not)?
Tyler - I definitely think infusions are the best for me - it really helps not having to take meds everyday.
Recently I've been seeing a physical therapist and focusing on strength, balance, and coordination. I focus on exercises to increase and maintain mobility. Thinking of adding yoga into my regular routine. Has anyone seen improvements with doing yoga consistently?
Yes - I could probably see more improvements if I am more consistent, but the stretching and breathing has helped me mentally - and also a bit physically. I think it's a good idea!
I haven't been part of a trial, I am a little nervous. But I have switched DMTs since being diagnosed.
