Round 2 #Mavenclad Year 1 for #MultipleSclerosis - good timing as had a weekend of ms face pain too! Fingers crossed it works - no more until 2026 and hopefully no new lesions (damage) spine nor brain in the meantime

Finally able to start #mavenclad for #MultipleSclerosis today after much delay due to constant infections. A week of 💊 and then another week of 💊 in a month’s. The same pattern next year. A testing period ahead as immune system will deplete again, but controlling the ms is the goal 🙏
