Gentleman,
Monday I am starting a new med for my MS. Its been on hold for a couple months now do to the covoid 19.
I talked to the neurologist in January about hard spots and other problems at the injection sites for the rebiff and that it was getting harder to "stab" myself 3 times a week. She agreed and also thought the rebiff had been long enough that there were better available now. Mid February I started the starting does of tecfaderra and this was a disaster for me. 9 days of diarrhea, Mobility, balance and urgency problems dont go well with that. So it was stopped. And then the covoid came.
She didnt want to lower my immune system while that was raging around with the Maven Clad.
Im looking forward to the Maven Clad. First month is 1 week of pills second month is a weeks pills and done. Like most MS meds it controls but dosnt cure.
While Im not expecting really big improvements, Im not expecting to walk with out assistance. It would be great to get around the house and shop with a cane and be able to get in and out of a car easily. My chairs for out and about and extended use. The Support at MS lifelines think this is realistic goals.
Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I start these treatments. Im looking forward to not having the injections at the least.
