Looking For Experience Stories With Three Meds...Copaxone, Vumerity, Kesimpta. I'm Worried About Side Effects.

I've never been on constant medication, just the occasional Tylenol. Just nervous about making a decision, and she has told me I definitely need to make one soon. Please and thank you!

I have been on it for about 16 years. My doctors have encouraged a change for many years since new lesions every time I have new mris. Finally I am considering a change. I liked copaxone because of limited side effects but it is not working for me.

I was diagnosed recently, and this is my 2nd month using Copaxone… the first week i had runny nose and flo like symptoms… u just need to try and tolerate the injections, i also have some lumps from that. The dr advised me to use it because it is the most suitable medication for my case, and it doesnt have side effects. U can try to look it up more and there is even a website to compare drugs…

I just started Kesimpta. It's so easy and I really haven't had any side effects. One shot, once a month...easy. I was on Ocrevus which was great but my new insurance won't cover. No side effects with that one either. As I understand it, Kesimpta works basically the same as Ocrevus.

I had no symptoms during that time. I had no problem with the injection.

I was on copaxene for 10 years. I would have stayed on it, but my husband retired and the cost was prohibitive.
