#Kesimpta is a monthly injectable treatment for relapsing multiple sclerosis. Common side effects include respiratory infections, injection reactions, and headache. Serious allergic reactions and infections require immediate attention.
Good luck Shannon, I wish you well 🙏🏼 it's also my monthly treatment day. Shot of #Kesimpta later and tomorrow I'll feel like shit! Welcome to the thunderdome! 😂🤦🏻♂️

#Kesimpta (ofatumumab) rapidly lowers B cells in MS patients. Clinical studies show 77-78% had B-cell levels drop below normal within one week of first injection, increasing to 95-96% by two weeks. Fast-acting disease management for multiple sclerosis.
8 key #Kesimpta side effects to know: upper respiratory infections, injection-related reactions, headache, injection-site reactions, UTIs, back pain, plus rare but serious risks of severe allergic reactions and life-threatening infections. Report immediately.

#Kesimpta: Monthly MS injection targeting B-cells causing inflammation. Common side effects include respiratory infections, injection reactions, headaches, UTIs. Serious allergic reactions and life-threatening infections possible—requires immediate medical attention.
Anyone else have good results with #Kesimpta for MS? I'm starting it tomorrow, and rather nervous. 😓 I've been on #Rituximab awhile, and it worked well, but I've developed an allergic reaction, so have to switch. Also had to stop #Methotrexate for PsA, due to it not working, plus bad side effects. 🥲
MRI done.
Another flat white in the usual place.
Benchmarking.
Some things to be sad about, but focussing on what I can do 4 years after MS diagnosis and 3.5 years on Kesimpta.

#Kesimpta works fast! Clinical studies show 77-78% of patients had B-cell levels drop below normal within one week of the first injection, rising to 95-96% by week two. Quick action targeting the B cells that drive MS inflammation.

Here we go #Kesimpta dose 1 done. It’s good to be back on treatment after 3.5 years off #LifeWithMS
Immune to measles. Titres good.
😅👏👏👏
(Can’t get vaccinated due to #MS #DMT #Kesimpta and only ever knew about a German measles infection.)
Pre meds, and getting ready for my monthly ritual of K. So grateful for Kesimpta. Hope it doesn't get taken away with the Medicaid cuts.

Here’s the kicker. I’m well overdue for #Kesimpta again. I have no explanation for the #vasospastic angina but there are case studies of #ofatumamab and #Kesimpta causing this. Case studies aren’t exactly science though. The only way I’ll know is by doing my shot ... 🤦♀️. Crickets from #neurolgoist, 🧵
Theory. I coughed up blood during Covid as well but only briefly. I recovered 100% with remdesivir. Waited a week then did #Kesimpta for #MS and slowly tanked again. Wondering if I kicked up some type of covid #bronchitis again? And how could that cause vasospastic angina?
So I received an email stating I was accepted in
The Patient Advocate Foundation Co-Pay Relief Program. They are paying my $2000 co-pay for #Kesimpta #MS #ChronicIllness
I had #Novavax until this year. Robust, lasted at least four months on my current #MS #DMT #kesimpta. My post-Christmas #covid19 infection happened 2.5 months post #Moderna vaccination. I have post-covid fallout yet again. Please, #Canada, consider getting the Novavax product back ...
I have been on Kesimpta now for 2 years for my #MultipleSclerosis it is the 4th & best medicine for me. I am on #Disability & just found out I no longer will receive medicare extra help from Florida Medicaid. Now they want $2000 for my #Kesimpta shot. Then I will hit catastrophic stage. wtf to do?
I’m finally starting to feel mostly normal on #kesimpta - plenty of regular #ms omnipresent symptoms but I can function again as a human being, and my latest relapse with painful tonic seizures seems to be coming to a close after almost a year (have only had one attack the whole month!!!)
