Im starting kesimpta soon. My lovely UK neurologist gave me the option of Ocrevus or Kesimpta, but said his preference is kesimpta because i can inject at home, and its slightly more preservative of the immune system.

[@EmajDjinn-jf6le]

I've had chronic progressive MS 39 years. At this stage a quadriplegic from the neck down. I started taking Ocrevus about 2 years ago. It has definitely slowed the progression. Switching to Kesimpta it has a few less side effects I'm hoping to stop the progression at 64 years old age is not my friend either. It's not the end of your life, some people are amazed that I live alone at this stage with only a worker come in the morning and the evening to help with food and bathroom and cleaning. It just going to have to learn to do things a different way if you can't walk use a chair if you can't use your hands put a piece of tubing in your mouth and type with it, change your thermostat settings with it. Get smart devices and make your house smart. My lights are controlled by voice, my computer everything that I'm typing by voice I'm here alone in my house right now. The coolest thing lately Autoslide door to open my sliding door by my vocal command or my iPhone. I've had 39 years to learn to live with minimal assistance. Most people don't get this sick from MS some have even lived their life and never knew they had it until an autopsy was performed that discovered it!

Hello, i watched your last live video and it was informative. So my new Neurologist wants me to try Kesimpta or Ocrevus. Ive only seen him 2x since i relocated to Florida. My original treatments i received where from a MS center in Buffalo Ny. The Dent center. I love my team of doctors. Iam so scared to try a new meds since my previous treatments where unsuccessful. Iam a thyriod cancer survivor for the past 6 years and my full thyriod was removed due to stage 3 tumors. A few months later i was diagnosed with MS. I also tested positive for high risk of pml. So is my doctor right in trying to put me in any of these therapies? I dont want the cancer to return nor pml scare. He said i will be fine. But i still think his not the doc for me. Help??

Happy New years Dr. Aaron, wishing you all the best and success :) I was wondering if B cell depletes also increase long term cancer risk? I have seen that this type of therapy might increase risk. Would also be nice to know how "safe" they are in terms of serious infection risk etc. I am on Vumerity at the moment but would like to go on Ocrevus. Because I am in the netherlands they will not allow this until I worsen sadly. My neuro said "someone died from Ocrevus" when I asked about it... not great bedside manner :/ If the risks are low long term I would love to swap over to something more effective!

[@julies2646]

Thanks for this Dr B. I on Tysabri and became JC + so went on Ocrevus, and got breast cancer. Had to stop DMT until treatment finished and have now been given the choice of Kesimpta and Tecfidera. Have been reading up and realised that You can still get PML from Tecfidera so thought Kesimpta would be my choice but you had said that injectables were not up there with the good stuff. I needed to know if Kesimpta was included in that group. Obviously not included. Good timing with this video 👍🏼

Thank you so much for this easy to understand explanation of how Ocrevus works. I started Ocrevus in September of last year. You said in your video ‘that’s why it’s really important to have our vaccines up to date before we start on B cell depleting therapy.’ So,,,what about after we start the therapy? Are the vaccines going to work for us? I just had a pneumonia vaccine and it knocked me out for about 2 weeks. Pain in my arm, my joints were swollen and painful and both my neuro and my pc doc said I should go ahead with this vaccine. So I did..but wondering how effective it will be and other vaccines as they are recommended?

[@jodeep8695]

Thank you. So B cells are the army mates who protect or hang with T cells. And T cells can’t misbehave without the army? Resulting in no further demyelination? PS do you have a video on Tysabri? My son is on Kesimpta but I am on Tysabri. :)
