Has anyone discontinued taking their DMT (Tecfidera) during this viral outbreak?

Neurologist suggested stopping it.

Thank you everyone.

No, mine is an infusion and I got it right before it hit the fan here 😬

I would have probably been advised to take whatever I was on anyway because of my disease history.

Here's the latest update from a group of Australia's top neurologists. Other MS organisations around the world will also have relevant advise and COVID-19 specific web-pages. The consensus seems to be with most meds to keep taking them because the consequences of stopping may be very bad from an MS point of view.

Of course we are all being REALLY careful about social distancing and hand washing, and following recommendations about staying at home etc, aren't we!!!!!!!!!!!!!
