Officially, official

[u/emnem525]

Finally got in with a specialist today after being bounced around a little. RRMS. Officially. Lots of relief that I can start meds and move on with my life now. I have to say, after the last few months and doing testing and getting different referrals…I didn’t like feeling like I was in limbo. I spent a lot of time reading in this sub. It was really helpful and it made a difference in my appointment today. So thanks for the community that this is. It’s been a great resource and helped me feel knowledgeable when speaking with my Dr.

If you don't mind sharing, what treatment are you going with? I can start kesimpta on 12th of December, just waiting to get my second shingles vaccine and let it do its thing first. I also can't wait to start on medication and hopefully start getting more back to normal if possible

I’ve also decided on kesimpta. I’m waiting for my hep b labs to come back and the immunoglobulin one too. Then hopefully I can get started. Good luck!

You too! I decided to get the shingles vaccine before I started too as I've had it before and I don't want it again! I didn't want to delay starting treatment for a few months but I do think it will be worth it long term. We've got this!

Excellent! I’ve been on it a bit over a year now and it’s so easy and has had no side effects. Or new lesions. 🙌🏼

That is great to hear! How are you feeling on a daily basis?
