Monoclonal antibodies for MS

Hello @Baba'sHelper‍, thank you for opening this discussion and sharing what you've been going through with your dad! Let me tag some other members who can possibly share with you.

Hi everyone, how are you doing?

Have any of you been prescribed a monoclonal antibody (Tysabri, Ocrevus, Lemtrada, Rituximab, etc.) for your MS? If so, which one? Has it helped your MS? Were there any side effects? Have you had any issues acquiring it since the COVID-19 pandemic started?

My doctor has just prescribed a steroid for my MS.   For years of asking they have just prescribed 4Mg  of cortizone.  I cannot walk on my own.  Is there anything else??  But with the cortizone I can finally do a short time on the walker.

I took Tysabri for 5 months (pre pandemic) and it worked for me. Towards the end of the month I would feel like I was running on fumes but other than the iv start it worked for me. I knew it was a stopgap until Mavenclad became available so the PML risk was negligible for me.
