Well done! Thanks gentlemen! Damien your the man. Thank you for working so hard and going out of your way to create this content. I really appreciate you sir. I hope your having a great day! Remember to keep that smile. Your smile alone keeps us all going.
Hey thanks for making this channel Damien! I've been followed Dr. Boster and Dr. Beabers MS channels but I like that this one is hosted by someone that's actually in the community. I have an RIS diagnosis technically at the moment but my follow up MRI showed a new lesion and my doctor wants to start me on a DMT. I've been trying to research which way to swing and I narrowed it down to Tecfidera or Ocrevus. In large part because of your videos, I'm now feeling like Kesimpta is one of the finalists too. These DMT's freak me out a little bit because of the risk of PML and some cancers. I'm still new to this awful game so hopefully it will make more sense soon. Have you made the switch to Kesimpta or do you plan on sticking with Ocrevus?
I’ve been on Glatiramer Acetate for 4 years and just can’t do it anymore so was thinking about switching to kesimpta. The thing is, I’m torn between that and ocrevus
Went to look on your page for the video you said you would do letting us know how it went and I couldn't find any. This video was 3 years ago so I expected to find the follow up. Am I looking in the wrong place or did I overlook it?
Thank you so much for this information!!!! I’ll be happy to get an advice. How to planing pregnancy while using Kesimpta? I read that I need to stop talking Kesimpta for 6 months before pregnancy, but is it safe for me to be without medication? Thanks a lot.
Thank YOU for this comment! This is totally a decision between you and your doctor. A lot of MS disease activity is known to subside during pregnancy anyways so many expectant mothers with MS stop their medication during the term of their pregnancy but, for sure, your doctor can help you sort out how safe it would be for you!
Obvious sales video is a sales video. Not saying at all that this drug is bad but the animated dude on the right is a dead give away sales guy. I’m still trying to decide which treatment I will go with but not gonna lie this is unsettling. Sorry guys I notice body language and eyebrows.
For the record, Michael C, this is NOT a sales video. Unless specifically stated in the video, itself, NONE of the videos on this channel are part of ANY sales campaign. ** Whatever was noticed by this commenter in my demeanor and body language leads to those conclusion ONLY IN THEIR OWN personal mind, folks. ** I'm just generally a joyful and convivial dude. If that comes off as a "dead giveaway" that I'm a "sales guy", that statement comes as a "dead giveaway" that you out of touch with the nature of the videos on this channel. I was given an opportunity to interview a doctor about a DMT so they could provide more information about a (at the time) new DMT to the viewers. That is it. That is all. No money was exchanged and there is NO INFERENCE that viewers should actually use this medication. If I'm selling something, you're gonna know it. Check the list of 35+ national commercials and voiceovers I've been in over the past 10 years for brands like Lowe's, McDonald's, Chex Mix, Ring and AT&T to know the difference between ""sales" Damian and " talking to one of the neurologists who helped develop a medicine which viewers on the channel might find interesting" Damian. I get day rates + potential residuals for showing up on sets to sell products for a living. I show up in this space cuz I want to show up for folks with multiple sclerosis. Never the twin shall meet.
Nicely done Damien. Dr. Pardo gave a great interview. I'm going to publish a video soon directly comparing Kesimpta and Ocrevus.
Thanks, Brandon!! Folks want that direct comparison so a video from you will be great!!
@@NoStressMS Agreed and definitely looking forward to that video.

Ngl I randomly just clicked on this but it’s cool there is a channel that talks about this stuff
Random clicks are welcome!! 😂😂🙌🏾🙌🏾
I love this channel
I LOVE that you love this channel!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
My doctor has been trying to put me on this for a year and I keep backing out because I’m JC positive
I’ve been on Glatiramer Acetate for 4 years and just can’t do it anymore so was thinking about switching to kesimpta. The thing is, I’m torn between that and ocrevus

Thanks for that great interview! ... And my laundry is ironed too, now. :-)
I am eager to see if there will be any studies or trials for PPMS as a possible alternative to Ocrevus
Yeah, it'll be good to see if that data emerges!
I was wondering about one question that didn't come up...what about if you have the JC virus present? Thank you
Donna from Illinois
That's a good question! Since we didn't get to it maybe talk about that your doctor and hopefully it's still a good potential fit?
What is the percentage of having antibodies to kesimpta ?
Thank you so much for this information!!!!

Do they have a study that I can join?
Haven’t heard anything about something like that!
Since it depletes b cells, will it help with problems related to EBV? I’m praying for relief from it when I start kesimpta today
Seems there's a link between MS and DBV but I haven't been able to find any articles about MS drugs having an effect on EBV...🤷🏾♂
@@NoStressMS yea I haven’t seen anything but we’ll definitely find out cause I’ll document my journey
If any one taken inj kesipta.
Share filling and experience
Anything related to PML?
There's a chance PML "may" happen according to their website.

@@NoStressMS any information on people that went from tysabri to kesimpta while jc positive?
@@okenuth Not sure!

The hand gestures make the video seemed scripted and fake
Cool. Thx.
