Hi!!
I am 19 and was diagnosed in December (when I was 18) and began taking Extavia in January. I just got my 6 month "check-up" MRI and within 6 MONTHS I have 2 NEW lesions in my brain. Coming up with a total of 5, maybe 6 lesions.
My neurologist wants to switch my treatment to a more aggressive one, the three that came up in the discussion are: Gilenya, tysabri, and rituxan.
I have NO IDEA what do and how to deal with this... I got off the phone with my doc and came straight here for some answers..
I can't stop thinking about how my life will be if I continue to gain lesions every 6 months and I'm terrified.
The side effects of these new medications scares me as well. The PMS is the most terrifying.
If you guys could please send some guidance my way along with stories related to these medications or how to deal...
THANK YOU!
