I have never been on GA so cannot comment on how it might affect the menstrual cycle. On a side issue, also mentioned in the article, I am interested to know if HRT is worth pursuing even if menopause has caused no issues. I am sure it is 'good' for women with MS but being prescribed it when you are not having a difficult menopause is very difficult/unlikely. There is no obvious case for it as far as the GP is concerned and their attitude is 'leave alone'.
Could I please ask your opinion.I tested positive for Covid on the 19th of March on the 22nd I was sent the Antiviral Malnopiravir because of the M.S. finished them on the 27th of March. I am writing because my infusion for Ocrevus is due on the 13th of April tried ringing my nurse was told she was.nt sure if it was ok to go ahead as it's a new medication she would have to check with the Neuro, still waiting for a answer do you have any knowledge of this I would be extremely grateful for your opinion Thankyou
Our policy has been to put an ~4 week gap between recovering from COVID-19 and starting or re-administering ocrelizumab. This was to allow pwMS to recover from COVID-19. However, this is not evidence-based with the much milder Omicron BA1 and BA2 variants if you lateral flow negative and feeling well I see no reason why you can't go ahead with your next infusion. Think of it like you have just had a cold and recovered. Why would you delay your treatment if you had a common cold 3 weeks ago?
I didn't like Copaxone when I was on it; I don't know anything about its effects on periods, but I didn't like the lumps & bruises the injections caused, plus it's not a highly effective DMT & was just the best I could get at the time. But I think a bigger problem for this person is that they stopped taking it & didn't try other DMT's till they found one they were comfortable with. And it's a problem they don't feel supported by their neurologist.
