Briumvi or Kesempta

[Caste19]

Anyway have and experience with either of these drugs. After a very had time with Aubagio my Doctor is recommend these drugs. I am a little nervous about an infusion that last 6 months because if I have a reaction, it will be in my system a long time. I have asthesma, thalesemia and have had breast cancer in the past so my options are limited.

Hi Caste19 l havnt been on either of them. But there are ppl here that are, that can help🙂 Just make sure if you have questions or concerns about your treatment, you talk to your Neuro! 🤗💕🌠

It is always a difficult decision to pick a new therapy. After several other therapies, I tried Kesimpta last year. Unfortunately, I had a lot of bad side effects and had to stop after 6 months. I know lots of people do very well on the B-cell therapies. Of course, everyone reacts differently, so all you can do is follow your neurologists recommendations. I wish you all the best!

I was on Aubagio and I elected to go with Tysabri it’s tried and true and I’m always exhausting meds that have been on the market longer rather than the newer ones. I always like to leave room to climb the later if I get worse. 22 years 9th DMT for me.

Wow! I thought I had been through a lot of DMTs! I did 7 different DMTs in 23 years, but you did 9! Glad the Tysabri is working for you. All the best!

Hello Caste19 ! I switched from Aubagio to Kesimpa about a year and a half ago. I would have to travel about 45 minutes to get infusions and also take time off work, so I chose Kesimpta because it was more convenient. It is shipped directly to me and stored in the fridge until use. The hardest part is remembering to pull it out of the fridge so it can warm up a bit before injecting. It literally takes just seconds once a month to take Kesimpta.

Aside from the starter doses, which are expected to make you feel yucky for a few days, I haven't had any unwanted side effects from Kesimpta. I do know some people have had problems with it, so be sure to follow your doctors advice if you do decide to try it.

If you have any other questions, let me know!

Hi Castle 19:

I have been on Abagio since 2017. I have had no problem with the drug. After giving myself injections for over 20 years I am happy to take a pill every morning. I have no side effects to the medicine and it has kept my MS under control.

Please write back with any questions that you have!

Have a great day!
