Stopping MS Treatment as we age

A MyMSTeam Member asked a question 💭
Elkhorn, WI

Here is an interesting Article exposing thoughts on stopping MS treatments as one ages. Especially after age 55 and where relapses have not been impacting recently.

I am interested and will be talking to my neuro in Dec as my health coverage is expiring and meds are far too expensive to continue. Have not been able to ascertain assistance from Pharma.

Biogen gives assistance. I know that cause I take Tysabri and was on Tecfidera and also got assistance with mine and my husband household income.

Thanks for sharing this article! I had my first (and only)relapse at age 65 and no change for 2 years. I take Aubagio daily. Guess I’ll wait 3 more years and then decide if I still need daily meds.

But it seems as though to qualify you can not have anything. Own your home have a savings acct or pension etc.
