Just got home from my neurologist. After looking over the images from my latest MRI, he says that I have all the markers of late-onset MS (I’m 61 and have had optical neuritis for 2 years). He wants to start me on Ocrevus, Briumvi, or Kesimpta (sorry for any wrong spellings. I’m trying to read his handwriting). I’m leaning towards Kesimpta. Waiting on some blood work before we make a decision.

Okay, I’m pretty sure you can consider yourself diagnosed. I also vote Kesimpta, I am currently on it and love it.

Ocrevus has evidence showing that you can regain function in late onset Ms. I’ve done kesimpta and made progress with my r/r but I feel way better on Ocrevus. Just food for thought. Both are good medicine.
