MS and fighting sicknesses
Hi guys! those of you who get infusion therapy.....because themedicines are immunosuppressant......when I feel something coming on I can't just go and take an emergency-c, sambucol, or any quick immune booster because of the counter affects of them. What DO you guys take to help at least try to fend off the icky-ness?!
It depends on the infusion. Tysabri is not a true immunosuppressant for example. I think you only have to maybe worry more with ocrevus but you may not need to take extreme precautions
Interesting question. I think when I feel my MS coming on, I missed my opportunity to help to counter act my problem but I immediately sit or lie down, find some shade or get in front of a cooling device. I try to remove gloves if I'm wearing them, take off any hat I may have on and remove my shoes as soon as appropriate (my feet are u-g-l-y). I have found it's too late when I feel something is coming and just try to weather the storm and then think about all the things that may have lead to my problem and don't do them again if I can avoid them.
What medication are you currently getting.. the immunosuppresent?
