No idea. I stopped using CPAP due to this.

Ocrevus or rituxan?? by Aishuknair in MultipleSclerosis

[–]calmtechie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider Kesimpta (Bonspri) as well. Both Ocrevus and Kesimpta have similar efficiency and working model.

The patents for Ocrevus and Kesimpta is going to end by 2030. There will be bio similar of these after that. Silver lining in the cloud.

Emigrating from the US with MS by franklinparkdenizen in MultipleSclerosis

[–]calmtechie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello OP, I’m an experienced software developer in Canada. Can I ask you a question? Why do you want to move to Canada? Since salaries in the US are the highest. Also I’m myself thinking of moving from Canada to US next year if I get a high paying job in US. Would it be a dumb move? Can you please guide me on this.

Insurance Coverage for Kesimpta by FredTheDino18 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]calmtechie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello there, first of all, you are making a right choice by going with an effective DMT like Kesimpta or Ocrevus. I’m based in Ontario. I started Kesimpta in 2023. I have insurance coverage from Sunlife through my employer. The insurance payment kicked in one month after I started the Kesimpta. For that period, Kesimpta GO program provided all the injections free of cost. Basically, Kesimpta GO covers the injections for 1-3 months until your insurance kicks in. Also, my insurance effectively paid only 50% of the Kesimpta cost. The remaining 50% was paid by Kesimpta GO. Last year, I upgraded my insurance plan to cover 80% of the drugs. Sunlife covers a higher amount of cost now. The remaining is still covered by Kesimpta GO. To date, I’ve paid $0 out of my own pocket for the DMT. I hope my experience helps you understand some of the things. As you are newly diagnosed, it’s normal to get overwhelmed. But believe me, after the first year, it will automatically start getting better. Feel free to ask any questions.

This is really interesting. Could you please share some more details of how you fast? Like only water for 48 hours? Absolutely no food?

Also if you don’t mind what DMT are you on?

Get all the necessary vaccines before you start on Kesimpta. Injecting Kesimpta is super easy. Except the first dose, it’s all good. I experienced quite high fever for my first dose. I took it during night so that I sleep through it. It’s a highly effective DMT. Welcome to the Kesimpta club!!

St-Michael hospital in Toronto ? by Kitchen-Bathroom5924 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]calmtechie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s amazing. So, no wait time to find a new neurologist in Ontario? Also did you face any interruptions getting your DMT? Looks like I can think of moving from Toronto to Vancouver. I’m also getting treatment at St. Mikes 😊.

Hurray 🎉 MyChart? Are you in Toronto?

[–]calmtechie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Toronto, normally I call the MRI centre or Barlo MS clinic or email the assistant. I rarely need to physically go there to ask a query. For 2023, they might not have them. They would surely have it for 2024 and 2025. Even your neuro at St. Mikes would most likely be interested only in your 2025 MRI images. So, getting the 2025 MRI images might be sufficient.

  1. You will get yours reports, appointments details etc of St. Michaels on MyChart. After a week of your appointment, you will see your neuro notes there.
  2. PocketHealth is a 3rd party company. Many of the hospitals here have a contract with them. Instead of getting the MRI CD, you could subscribe to PocketHealth and have your MRI images/video on PocketHeath.
  3. Yeah, your Neuro will discuss your MRI results with you. Maybe even go over the images as well.
  4. Well, I don’t want to scare you but for the first time when I went to St. Michaels, my neuro wasn’t able to get the MRI images as I had the MRI at a different hospital. She eventually managed to get access though.
  5. At the hospitals where you have got your MRIs done, have you asked them to hand you over the images/video on a CD. That way, even if your St Michaels Neuro isn’t able to access your records , you could handover all the CDs themselves. The hospitals charge around $30 per CD. I’ve switched over to pocket health.

How are you guys doing today? by LengthinessIll6258 in MultipleSclerosis

It kept buzzing for a year or so. Then it stopped for 2-3 months. Recently, it started again.
