“When I found out that BRIUMVI was a 1-hour infusion twice a year after the starting dose, I was really drawn to choosing that as my DMT. I have two girls and it’s nice that I can get my infusions while they’re at school and it doesn’t interrupt my time with them.”

“I love doing anything I can possibly do outside. Aside from the 1-hour infusion time after the first dose, I did my own research, and I was impressed by the efficacy and the safety of BRIUMVI. That is what ultimately led my doctor and I to choose BRIUMVI.”

I began experiencing tingling in my right foot. I went to a podiatrist, and she gave me tips as well as treatment, which helped for a while. About a year later, I watched a television talk show where someone shared that her friend had been experiencing tingling in her feet, and she insisted she go see an MS specialist. My tingling continued and I thought about the interview and wondered if maybe I had MS. I went on my daily walk with my dog, and shortly after we began our walk, my tingling got worse. My knees buckled. My gait was off. I started drifting to the right. When I returned home, I went in to my husband, sat down and started crying. I was determined to find out what was going on.
MRIs identified lesions in my brain and spine, and eventually I was diagnosed with RMS. It is suspected that I’d had MS for years before my official diagnosis. I then met with a neurologist for treatment. I had heard of BRIUMVI from a family friend. I knew I wanted an infusion treatment, and I liked the idea of a 1-hour infusion, twice per year after the starting dose. Six months after my first infusion, I had another MRI. There were no active lesions and some of my existing lesions appeared smaller. Woohoo, BRIUMVI was working for me!
MS may have slowed me down a bit, but it hasn’t stopped me from doing anything I used to do. I have had to learn to listen to my body. For me, the most important thing each day is to eat healthy, get exercise, and to have a positive attitude.

If you have ever had hepatitis B virus infection, the hepatitis B virus may become active again during or after treatment with BRIUMVI. Hepatitis B virus becoming active again (called reactivation) may cause serious liver problems including liver failure or death. Your healthcare provider will monitor you if you are at risk for hepatitis B virus reactivation during treatment and after you stop receiving BRIUMVI.
