I took Aubagio for 2 years and stopped a year ago. I was getting it through patient assistance and wanted to talk to my doctor before I applied again. She told me because of my age she wasn't going to prescribe anything. I have had no new lesions since 2018 (when I was diagnosed), no relapses. I do have difficulties with many things. I take nothing now for my ms and haven't for a year. I did stop cold turkey but you should check with your doctor.

I am 81. Dx at15, no meds(none available when dx) until 5/13/2024. Anxious for new MRI

Aging!! How did we get here?
I'm going to have an MRI in July. Maybe if there is no change, I can have a serious talk with my Neur. about quitting DMT's. I don't know why I'm so anxious to stop them. I guess I will take his advice and keep on them if I have to but I do want to change to one with less side effects. Currently, I'm taking Vumerity (3yrs) and still have side effects - flushing being the worse. Flushing sounds so innocent yet I feel like 1000 bees are stinging me where ever I turn red and 'flush'. This lasts for about 10 - 15 minutes after I take Vumerity and I take it twice a day!! No one seems to think this is a big deal but I'm really tired of it. I'm going to a new MS Neuro and maybe he'll help me.
I, too, can still walk and talk (maybe not while chewing gum) but my balance has been off lately and I use a cane sometimes but don't need it all the time. We've had such severe weather here in the South and I really believe if the barometric pressure would stabilize, I'd be better balance wise.

I’m 70 Dx when I was 33. I stopped 4 years ago when pandemic came. My last DMT was Tecfidera before that Betaseron in beginning. My MRIs have no change over all these years. Now I have to deal with aging. Like MS a new surprise around every corner. I can still walk and talk. I’m doing well.

Thank you. I have been taking shots and pills for about 20 of my 35 years of MS and am just plain sick of it!
