The crap gap is the period between MS medication doses when symptoms start to creep back in — things like fatigue, brain fog, balance issues, and tingling sensations. It's most commonly associated with infused DMTs, but Kesimpta is a self-injected Show Full Answer
I’m on Kesimpta for 1 1/2 years and have dealt with crap gap a few times. My specialty drug pharmacist said to take it every 28 days/4weeks and not do the every certain date of the month.

I would He used Ocrevis infusions to "arrest" (his term) my MS, but then after the first few years changed me over to the 3x weekly self injection of Rebif, followed by a change back to infusions of Briumvi. Even with the flushing period (crap gap) and the whole 'down days' of the infusion process, I think that it is much better than the multiple self injection per week option, especially given that prior to my DX I was a very regular blood donor, already very accustomed to being strapped up and the fluids piped, even though it was out rather than in... 🙂
