I am on Tecfidera which is the latest oral that has been approved. I have had minimal side effects. Prior meds included Copaxone, Rebif and Tysabri. All were O.K. The key is to make sure that you don't get taken off one without being placed on another. I was taken off of Copaxone due to a site infection by a prior doctor who did not put me on anything else. 4 months later I had a exasperation and ended up in a nursing home for 3 months. I had full functions (walking too) prior to the incident and now I am wheelchair bound and only able to use my left arm.

You know, I was just thinking about this as it relates to me helping others understand what I'm gong through. I concluded I will never be able to fully explain what it's like to have MS or what it's like for you to have MS. I guess I just finally have concluded that there is no answer and my reality may totally flip tomorrow. That finally excites me and makes me try to get the most out of life each day I get to live it no matter in what state. Still, I totally get your question

JohnnieGift03. There is no rhyme nor reason for this. You just to have to work with it one day (or less, depends ) at a time. Never forget that we are in this together and we are stronger.

I’m not exactly sure what you mean but I’m guessing you want to know what the deal is with stupid ms? My answer to that is... it’s different for everyone, go see your neurologist, ask this group about symptoms you might be experiencing, for me it’s a grieving process, but for you it’s different, try to learn what happens when you have stupid ms. Good luck warrior 💪🏼🙏🏾🐻🌈🐾💪🏼 Light and love 💪🏼
