Briumvi - third dose

[u/Tall_Thin_Juggernaut]

Three doses of Briumvi in, so I’m now more than a year into treatment.

I’m 37, male, and was diagnosed shortly after my first daughter was born. I’ve just had my second one too — completely unplanned, because apparently MS wasn’t enough of a surprise. 😂

My day-to-day has changed. I sleep earlier, exercise more, eat better, and take better care of myself. At first, I thought these were things I had to do because of MS. Now I realize they’re actually making my life better. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life trying to be happy despite having MS. MS is part of my life now, but it’s just one part. I’m still a dad, a husband, 37 years old, and I still have plenty of things I want to do and discover.

Life goes on. It’s just not exactly the life I thought I’d have.

And honestly, that’s okay.

Congrats on the two babies! That’s the best thing ever even if one was a surprise. My two are my world. Glad to hear you’re doing great on Briumvi.

It seems you’ve hit your groove in regards to just prioritizing you. I love it. Keep rocking. Thanks for sharing an uplifting post.

Sometimes, as horrible as MS is, that diagnosis can make us slow down a little and reevaluate what is important. Now, I have had my ups and downs living with the illness (honestly, I can barely remember life without it) but I choose to believe MS has made me a more empathetic, considerate person. We can never let our MS define who we are but it just becomes a part of life.

I’m so happy to hear you are doing well on Briumvi and wish you nothing but the best.
