I know it's the right thing to do, and I've been waiting an entire year, but I am TERRIFIED! was anyone else paralyzed with fear before starting medication? I'm just so tired of all the things in my life causing me such pain and grief, I'm afraid of what bad this could bring me-- its been hard to focus on the positive possibilities.

I've searched so many posts in this sub on the medication, but if you feel like sharing your experiences, I would appreciate some encouragement to jab myself 😭 thank you for reading, I know being able to be medicated is a privilege. I'm just so scared and I didn't expect to feel so strongly about this.

Yessss!

I got hit with the side effects on my first dose. Fever, chills. But after that first night, nothing!! And it's the only drug that has kept me with noooo progression on MRIs! So even if you do get hit with side effects—and not everyone does, it's just one kinda rough night, and then HELLA worth it! I love Kesimpta and it's been fantastic for me. I recommend it to everyone! The jab is super minor, quick pinch like an epi pen.

For your first dose, take tylonol and benadryl (or just one tylonol pm and no benadryl), make sure you're hydrated, and take it before bed. You got this OP!!
