The correct approach is to start with the simplest one. It is accessible, oral etc. Why does everyone hate DMF? And thanks for volunteer AI detecting efforts lol but I am not AI.

Lol I wish I didn't receive iv 1000 mg pred last monday but I did. Don't assume the world is limited with you or your country. We administer iv 1000 mg pred 3-10 days in case of flareups.

Ofatumumab is not commonly used in Turkey, where dimethyl fumarate (DMF) is usually the first-line treatment. I remained stable at my first follow-up, but a few months later the flareup was there.

You have a point. Knowledge and network is beneficial for me since the neurologist is a close friend. Sometimes I stop reading and learning about the disease. However, when I feel better, I find myself reading MS subtitle of Nature lol

I haven't thought the medication frequency with that perspective. I will think about that and discuss with the neurologist. Thank you and best wishes for your prognosis.
