    I have had MS for about 23 years. I have been on 3 DMT and all three of those drugs I've had bad severe bad reactions. I have been off of medications for the last 4 years. Been feeling wonderful. I eat well and exercise 5 days a week and do strength training 3 days a week. Went to my neurologist for a check-up who decided to give me an MRI. It was a new lesion found and he wants me to start a new drug. I dont want to but I'm feeling pressure to do so. I walk well and stay very active. But we do have choices and should be respected about our decision. I just turned 60

      Hi Gloria. Thank you for sharing. I can only speak from my own experience. I trust myself to make the best decisions for me. I am currently not on any MS drugs and am 58. I was told my my neurologist that as we age the MS slows down but it is not a guarantee. I'm fine with leaving thong the way they are with my choice right now.

    I was on modafinil for a couple years before i began to question if it was actually making me more anxious. Ive always wondered if i had a touch adhd or of my inability to concentrate, prioritize, focus, finish tasks, etc was from my MS. About a month ago my nurse practitioner put me on vyvanse and i stopped the modafinil. Wow... It had been a life changer! For once i am not anxious, i can get things done (though i have a lonnng way to go with cleaning and decluttering my house) and theres the nice benefit of losing weight, which also makes me feel physically better! I also was used to taking naps during the day but i am glad that i can power through and not have to nap. Im just praying that this continues to work well for me. Thanks for this video and for sharing your experiences. 😊

    This happens to a lot of people. Not just those with MS. Stress, heavy liftng, cold water immersion, and strong coughing are just some of the causes. Michael Mosely has had one after cold water swimming. It can reoccur. I have had 2 in 2 years. It can take a month to recover but no long term issues apart from no memory during the time the TGA lasted.

    Nine years diagnosed and taking injections; 12 years since my left arm went entirely numb, but not yet diagnosed. Sadly, I've had vertigo since February 2013 and have had it ever since. Ive had chronic fatigue since getting over mono in 1994, but I don't know if that is connected to MS, but definitely annoying! I don't know what I'd do if I had to deal with foot drop or dragging a leg, but at least I know about it from you & others with MS, should it occur. Hoping Mavenclad continues to keep things calm for you. Blessings to you!

      I was originally given Meclizine, but it made me dizier. I was told by my neurologist that it's due to the 3-4 black holes in my pons/brain stem. It's worse when I'm super tired and I feel best sitting in a reclining position, talk about becoming a couch potato! Thanks for caring.😊

    Very informative video. I was on Tecfidera between 2021 - 2022 and I developed a new lesion and I switched to Mavenclad. The side effects were too hard to bare, and this year I started Ocrevus. So far I am doing better, and my fatigue can still be a burden but nowhere close to what I had to go through when I was on Mavenclad.

      Thank you for watching the video. Great question. It will depend on each person. It took about 5 to 6 months in year one for me. What I found out this year is that you want your immune system to stay on the low side as there is less chance that MS will attack. This is what a pharmacist told me for year two. This means keeping your lymphocytes in the low range from 1 to 4.

It has made a significant difference in my day. I did not have any side effects at all. The only problem is that the benefit wains over time & I needed increase dosage.

    You want to consider "smouldering" MS. There may be no new lesions or symptoms, but it is likely progressing anyway. Itll just be a shame to find yourself disabled years later with disability that may have been prevented with medication. There are over 20 disease modifying medications now, so its likely one will be useful without bad side effects.

    Heat is the bane of my existence! I’m basically housebound bc of it, but I do have a UV proof umbrella to provide my own shade!! Really helps just to get to a door from the car and vice versa. I became cold intolerant a few years ago. It’s just painful-esp in winter. Even with the a/c on, I keep my blanky nearby year round! But also sleep with a fan 365/24/7!! Now if I could MAKE myself exercise. I have such good intentions but by the time I’m thru w other things, I’m too exhausted to do anything. Plus, it makes me HOT!!

      Hi Gwen sounds like you are managing many things to make your body feel as comfortable as possible. I commend you on your efforts. Exercise can be very empowering and good for mental health. How about starting with just 5 minutes a day. Like any habit for example brushing your teeth, it can become part of your day to day routine. 🌻🎯

      Yes it can be. It was for me. I've heard that is not the case for everyone through the Mavenclad for MS Facebook group.

    Thank you for sharing your experience. I have been experiencing very similar symptoms, my left side of face, left hand and entire left leg are numb with pain. My doctor has sent me for MRI of brain and thoracic and lumbar spine.. but nothing found. I suppose that is a good thing, but it still leaves me with the numbness and pain. When I hear your story and some others I can 💯 percent relate, however no lesions on MRI must rule MS out.

    • @WomenThrivingwithMS

      Hi Becky wow sounds similar for sure. Maybe another MRI in a year would be a good idea 💡. I've heard of others where nothing shows up but does later. I hope it passes for you or they find out what else it good be. Thank you for sharing your experience. 💜

    when the medicine is worse than the disease?? i find myself feeling skeptical about big pharma products, when they start giving the drugs away... perhaps i'm a little paranoid, but i will stick to my home grown, balanced-hybrid cannabis... safe and effective! greatest thing Trudeau government ever did for healthcare in Canada!!

      ALS is sooooooo under researched that doctors does it even know what causes it or what is it. So how can anyone in right mind find medication for something that don't know what is it? Unless you like this 23 year old female I knew where her family just knew that organic diet is better for her that chemo. She died very organically conscious at 23.

      Hi Diane, know that you are doing the best you can while dealing with fatigue. I hope the medication works for you. It's better to be walking with a device than not walking. Keep it up. Moving your body uses energy and gives you energy. It's also so important for your mental health. 🤩
