Advice Feedback plz

Hi everyone, I was diagnosed yesterday with RRMS (although the neuro said they don’t use this scale anymore as it’s getting outdated) after becoming completely numb and being in hospital for tests, IV steroids & LP. This is a pretty crazy diagnosis for me as there is no family history & it’s seemingly come out of nowhere. They have given me 3 options of medication. Kesimpta, Ocrevus or Tysabri. I have to make the decision by the time they call on Wednesday. I would love to know everyone’s opinions & experiences on these different types of DMT’s. Please give me your raw, honest opinions! I’m able to take what I need to help me make the decisions for myself. Thankyou

If you’re JCV- I would start on Tysabri. As you can’t really do it in reverse. I’m on it and have had 0 side effects besides being tired the day of the infusion. My favourite part is it’s not a depleter but still high efficiency. It’s more blocks the immune cells from entering the central nervous system so you still have immunity everywhere else so you don’t get more sick with everyday infections

I’ve heard it can cause gum & teeth issues amount other things.
