Kesimpta For MS Interview With Leading MS Researcher

[@ryanodom2892]

I was in really bad shape and no hope. Kesimpta is very important in keeping me from going back to the nightmare at the beginning of my version of this disease. Half a year on this stuff.. I feel better than I have in years

[@aluna_m888]

Do you suffer with fatigue? And Has it improved while on Kesimpta?

[@Harleyandme_16]

I found out on my birthday that I have MS...It was a shock. I think I went through the same emotions as grief. I allowed ebb and flow of my feelings but it was and still is hard for me to say the word MS. Sometimes I call it "the thing" because I don't want to claim it. Starting Kesimpta a week before my wedding. This video gave me some comfort and confidence in my medication choice and my wellness journey. Thank you.

[@caimee32]

Many blessings to you in your journey and your wedding 🙏🏾

[@dermlover1]

What symptoms did you have that lead to diagnosis?

[@diamondsngunns88]

Victoria, you’re not alone. You’re absolutely right about it being a grief process. Alllllll the emotions. Sending you so much love. We’ve got this!! ❤❤❤

[@stephanies1474]

Just found out a few days ago and yeah not dealing well with saying it. :(

Great interview Damien. Dr. Hauser is largely responsible for modern b-cell therapies due to his work with rituximab in the OLYMPUS and HERMES trials at USCF. He is also famous for a Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS) in MS (maybe the only MS specialist with a wikipedia page). He interviewed me once in 2012 when I was looking for a fellowship, and I have met him several times a conferences. He is very friendly and approachable.

[@NoStressMS]

Dr. Brandon Beaber I totally got the super OG vibe from him so it’s great to learn about some of the notches on his belt!

Thank you professor I have MS since September 2020 . I could not see anything more with my eyes. I am 33 years old. They washed my blood 7x.. At the moment I got every 4 weeks Tsysabri( Natalizumab) in 3 weeks I am one of the first patient in Germany to get the Kesimpta. I hope everything will be fine . Thanks for everything !!!! Best regards from Germany !!

Damien thank you for this video! Yesterday at my neurologist I was able to get the approval to switch from Aubagio! Who knew I would be so excited about giving myself a shot! Without your video I don’t think I would have asked to switch so thank you so much for putting this out there to educate us msers! ☺️

Oh im praying for you. I was just diagnosed in July. Put on tecfidera, relapsed several times and now on 2nd infusion of tysabri. I pray this works for you. So scary :(

[@karma_kush]

@@donnabolt5847 same with me. Relapsed twice on Tec and now on Tysabri- almost a year now.

[@donnabolt5847]

@@karma_kush how are you feeling now after a year on Tysabri? My doctor says I have aggresive ms and im going to still feel really crummy until about June. That will be my 6th tysabri infusion. This has just been nothing but brutal since my diagnosis in June 2020.

[@whoosh_angel]

Are you able to give an update on how you’ve been doing with Kesimpta? I was just diagnosed and considering it since I am JCV+ and don’t want to do Tysabri.

Exciting news about slowing progression, THAT'S WHAT I NEED! Is there anyone taking Kisempta that also has been diagnosed w/ Valley Fever (Cocci) fungal infection? That's the only thing that has kept me from jumping from the 3 times a wk Glatopa to this med or Ocrevus. I chg'd to Gilenya in 2013 & that's when I found out I had VF & got a bad UTI & a skin infection. Inquiring minds are wondering. Kisempta sounds easier & more managable than the other one. Thx if you have any input.....

[@shakirbashir132]

Hi NoStressMS are still on Ocrevus? I started a bit later than you and was gret initially, but now, have been having a number of disconcerting sideeffects. Im considering changing.....you?

[@DanielleRitchot]

I have PPMS. I’m going downhill fast. No relapses. Radiological findings do NOT coincide with clinical signs in many people, myself included. Why does the doc say Kesimpta is effective in progressive MS YET there has been no clinical trials for PPMS? Also, doc says Kesimpta is also effective for treating progression (not just relapses) - so is he only referring to progression in RRMS? Does progression differ for RR and PP patients? Why no trial for PPMS?

[@DanielleRitchot]

Oh, and also. Thanks, Damien for the great interview. :)

[@VisionsOfBulgaria]

Okay! "B-cells fight bacteria and viruses by making Y-shaped proteins called antibodies, which are specific to each pathogen and are able to lock onto the surface of an invading cell and mark it for destruction by other immune cells.". So the root cause of MS is bacteria or virus that is calling immune response leading to inflammation.

[@NoStressMS]

Atlantic Breaking it down down!!

[@opalsmith7175]

Would you please explain human cloning in this drug? Meaning who? Thank you 🥰

[@DrBrandonBeaber]

What he means is that the antibody is humanized and does not contain any mouse protein. This would in theory decrease the rate of injection reactions, though many reactions are related to b-cell depletion rather than a true allergy.

[@opalsmith7175]

Thank you for the explanation, I totally misunderstood the dr. You're awesome to watch, loads of info and bring a smile to those who watch you!🥰😊

Is this a medicine that can be taken with Ocrevus or is this a stand alone medication? Also does this have any contradictions or alerts for people that are jcv positive, not positive it have whatever it is called that keeps people from taking certain MS medications?
