Hi @Jan1987

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

@DHawk57 @sarahnosarah @veronica evangelista @PatriciaDuran @Mayfair @RichardBurr @Solrick2017 @Jme12Jme @Kimtraore @nk2222 @xxmyye @Grits1960 @LindyWhitedove @hugo_us @Masseryp @carolesims @Sueamy @ajmartines @GloriaF @SCOTSGIRL @santihil @Charmaine59 @Jwelden @Branden3387 @Kbassett @longhauler @Mofo122 @Cdcoan @Twig57

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,

Lizzi

@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
