Hello. I have been diagnosed for 2 years and I am on Tecfidera. Last week my dermatologist found a suspicious nevus that is due to be removed the next week. And while she is pretty sure it is still benign, I begin thinking about the DMTs.
The Pros are obvious - they are supposed to slow down the progression.
But the cons...
- Do they slow down the disease for sure, compared to being without treatment?
- The DMTs can damage organs like liver or kidneys
- They increase the risk of infections
So what is your opinion - do the pros of DMTs broadly outweigh their cons?
