I took Aubagio for 2 years with no side effects. No new lesions and no relapses since 2018 when I was first diagnosed. I've been off Aubagio for a year with no changes. I was taken off of it beause of my age.

Lisa, I was on it many years ago. It wasn’t a friend to me or my stomach.

We weren’t a match but others are benefiting from it.

I started on Keysimpta in May, with the 4 loading doses, 20 mg/week. Will begin monthly on June 25. Have had no side effects. Improvements, remains to be seen, but generally, feel better. I'm pleased!😊

I don't take any of the pill DMT's because of the stomach issues I've been on Ocrevus for almost 7 yrs very good treatment the best I've been on and I've tried quite a few of them I've had MS for around 21 yrs
