In the UK, there’s been a shift toward starting disease-modifying treatments (DMTs) earlier — sometimes even right after diagnosis — to help slow progression and reduce relapses.
For some, this feels reassuring. For others, it can feel overwhelming to make treatment decisions so quickly.
💬 We’d love to hear your experience:
How soon after diagnosis were you offered treatment?
Did you feel informed and supported in making that decision?
How do you feel about starting strong treatments early vs taking a “wait and see” approach?
👇 Your experience could really help others who are newly diagnosed.
