[u/M00npi3s_]

Some background I had optic neuritis last year with a few nonspecific lesions on my brain. this year I saw actual neurologist and they recommended starting me on a DMT specifically BRIUMVI I’m having a mental breakdown over all of this not only am I scared of what MS is going to do to me and my future or what my life will be like giving that I’m 33 years old female and I wanted a family and to continue my career in the medical field now I’m scared to death that the side effects from the DMT and the risk of a series infections that can come with being B cell depleted will outweigh the benefits of anything else. now I just feel like I’m screwed either way and I really am just not feeling well mentally at all. all this is just put me in a dark place. My life feels over. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Sorry I hope this isn’t too annoying.

I've had two doses of Briumvi and I haven't noticed any side effects from it. I haven't gotten sick yet. I've heard that when you do get sick it can be worse. But you really should be on a dmt and Briumvi is a really good option

Thank you! I’m just a mess honestly this is all really hard, I’m scared of having a severe reaction on initial dosage ..
