Hi @brendaobrien welcome! 🙂 How are you doing today?

There are ppl here on Mavinclad, what have you been taking? 🤗💕🌠

[brendaobrien in reply to Jesmcd2]

I have been taking AVONEX since 2006. My MS hasn't progressed until this year. What problems does Mavinclad have?

hi Brenda, Welcome! I just had my first 5 days of Mavenclad in late November. not noticing any changes so far. all it can do is stop the progression is my understanding so if i don't get worse it's working? can't tell just yet.

[brendaobrien in reply to Sandydemop]

Thank you, I am looking for any and all comments. I haven't decided yet, but I need as much info as possible.

[Sandydemop in reply to brendaobrien]

sure. my doctor said it was the least offensive of the options. Her second choice was Kisimpta. i understand there is a Mavenclad facebook group if you want to check that out.

Welcome! Glad you found us. I find this place to be a good mix of information and support and humor and daily life

Welcome to our crazy group of MS’ers 🤪 It’s a great place to vent and find out reality from people who are experiencing things first hand and are going through the same things as others. You get honest feedback from people who care about you and are not doctors. Enjoy your journey and don’t be afraid to ask questions and comments 👍🏼🙏😉🤪😂

[brendaobrien in reply to Kenu]

Thank you - those are the reasons why I am trying it out. I only have one friend who has MS and when we talk I seem to get the most help. But info for everyone seems to be in short supply. I know no one has all the answers, but other people who have MS seem to be better fit to tell you what to expect.

Welcome! I started Mavenclad in July, so far it's been the easiest med I have had! It's a 2 yr treatment, so I will not know how effective it is in my body for a while yet.

[Cutefreckles72]

Hello brendaobrien, Welcome to the group. . Excellent group to learn from. 👍😁

[Irishgirl76]

welcome and peace to you this season and the seasons of your health. My journey is similar but I feel becomes difficult in the health care system no matter where you live. Health care,insurance, doctors all need to update and not practice just the old. Medicine and therapist should be changing with us. We need to advocate our needs and doctors need to give us concrete results of our changing bodies and health. We need education and accountability. Sorry for negativity but I feel frustrated. I continue to celebrate your journey. Christmas blessings 😇

[brendaobrien in reply to Irishgirl76]

Merry Christmas to you and yours! I am very fortunate in that my husband is my caregiver. In his life he was as a shop Vice President of an engineering company and asks doctors LOTS of questions. He keeps asking until he is satisfied that he's gotten all the answers. If I ask a question and he feels I didn't get an answer that I understood, he then starts with his questioning. I know exactly how you feel about our health system, and all I can say is that it will get better!
