"I have been on Zeposia for a year. I was on Tysabri for ten years before. It was such a pain to get my IV every month. Now, I take a small pill every day, and I have never felt better! I started having MS symptoms when I was a child. I truly can't remember ever feeling so healthy, so normal. I take other medicines, baclofen and all. But I feel like a million bucks. It's not a cure, but it sure does feel like it!"

"My wife has been on Zeposia for 1.5 years after 5 years on Tecfidera. Switched because of better efficacy and MRI showed relapse. Downside - blood pressure went up. Upside - no relapses. Easy to get onto treatment. Tecfidera made her nauseous for 4 months. She never feels good enough to have a normal life like some write about here, but MRIs are clear. She’s a bit unsteady on her feet, but walks well enough. Complains of vertigo sometimes. Still has pain daily in her legs."

"I have been using Zeposia for close to a year now. I transitioned from Tysabri, which I loved but wanted to have the flexibility of not having to go into a clinic. Yes, I have the side effects: stuffy nose, sore throat in the evening occasionally, cough every now and then. I can only think of one reason not to take it. When I am cured from this *^&* disease! I have been on several DMDs since my diagnosis in 2026 and feel this will be my last DMD."

"My partner used it for 6 years, through trial. No serious side effects, one flare-up, but according to MRI, there was progression, so went to Ocrevus."

"Diagnosed with MS 17 years ago and never took any maintenance medication (solely my complete ignorance!) assuming a healthy diet, exercise, and vitamin D supplements were enough to keep me walking.... Failure! At year 15, I could barely walk to the end of the driveway without both of my legs collapsing. Zeposia saved me! I now can walk again 30 - 45 minutes up and down hills and in rough terrain (grass, rocks, and pebbles) not at first, but gradually over the last 2 years, I have accomplished this. Need to limit sun exposure for myself to 15-20 minutes max. After that, I start stumbling and tripping. Hot days, 90 degrees, okay as long as it's not sunny! I refinished my deck on an overcast dark 90-degree day, no problem. Felt compelled to share my story with others to give them hope! God bless us all."
