I have been on the same DMT since diagnosis 12 years ago and getting tired of 3 shots a week. Considering switching DMT. 1 shot a month!

I was taking shots 3X a week and hated it. There are lots of new meds on the market and most are pills so you may not even need the shots. There are infusions you can do a couple times a year. Talk with your DR and find out what you can switch to.

I agree. I haven't had to put up with shots in years. I'm getting Ocrevus infusions twice a year which are pretty convenient. Lots of pills out there now, too. Unless there's a particular reason that drug appeals to you. Good luck!

I did the 3 shots a week for many years. When. I stopped I switched to a pill, Vumerity, & it has kept my MS in remission for almost 2 years now.

I'm being switched from Tecfidera (Vumerity's big brother) to Kesimpta. Tecfidera is two pills per day. I was on it for 12ish years with no problems. Kesimpta will be one shot per month and I'm just starting the loading doses.

You may be on glatiramer acetate, 40 mg 3 times a week? I've been on that for 3 years now but was on Copaxone on a daily basis for 3 years some time ago too. From my standpoint I'm thrilled to be down to 3 shots a week after those daily shots but I've heard that a new formulation of glatiramer is about to come out, maybe early in this year--a once-monthly intramuscular injection. I might want to try that if/when it becomes available.
