Good advisor

Hi @Jan1987

This is a great question. I will tag a few other members who may be able to share their experiences with you.

Do DMTs work in older patients? What have you tried? Did it work? Do you have experiences with switching treatments?

Let's share!

Take care,

@LizziB

Thanks Lizzi, hope I get some feedback. My neurologist has convinced me to remain on Gilenya as minimal side effects. But I feel it hasn't stoped my slow decline. Am I sadly but realistically at a stage where DMTs aren't effective?

Thanks again, Jan1987
