Hi everyone,
I hope you’re all doing well. My neurologist here in Germany has recently recommended two different types of therapies for my condition: injectable therapies like Interferon or Copaxone, and oral tablet therapies. I’m trying to gather some insights from those who have experienced these treatments.
Injectable Therapies (Interferon/Copaxone)
What has been your experience with these injections?
How have you managed any side effects, like injection site reactions or flu-like symptoms?
I've used both.
I was on Copaxone and the first injection caused a serious side effect. Switched to Avonex, six months later had to quit that due to bad reactions. I am now on Zeposia which is an oral med. I don't like the side effects of this drug either but am trying to tough it out as I need to be on a DMT because I have a heavy lesion load. All MS drugs IMO are no picnic in the park. I prefer the oral med however because it's easier than the injectables. I pray you can find a DMT that helps you.
I chose an oral DMT because I could take a pill at home much easier than an injection.
When deciding between oral therapy and injections for multiple sclerosis (MS) treatment, consider the following:
Oral Therapy:
- Convenience: Taken at home, usually once or twice daily.
- Adherence: Easier to stick to a daily routine.
Injections
- Types: Can be self-injected at home (subcutaneous or intramuscular) or Show Full Answer
