What I want to achieve by taking DMDs

How important are the following things to me:

Reducing the number and severity of relapses

Slowing the development of disability

Possible side effects of DMDs

How important are the following things to me:

Flu like symptoms after injecting (which usually wear off after around 12 weeks)

Skin problems where I have been injecting myself

Post-injection reactions

Effects on your body which show up in a blood test (liver abnormalities, mild anaemia or low white blood cell count)

Potential mood changes (This might be important if you have a history of depression but these are rare)

The impact of DMDs on my day to day life

How important are the following things to me:

Minimising the frequency of injections

Having a premixed syringe, rather than having to mix up the solution before injecting

Being able to keep the drug outside a fridge (could be important when travelling)

Taking a medicine which contains no animal or human products
