Hello Sean @seanmay23, I can help with some information on how to utilize Connect. Connect has a Get Started on Mayo Clinic Connect guide that has tips on how to use this site. There is a link to the guide in the left footer column on each Connect page that takes you here -- https://connect.mayoclinic.org/get-started-on-connect/

I did a search on Connect and could not find any members who have discussed Kesimpta but I was able to find some recent information that may be helpful - Kesimpta: Cost, uses, dosage, side effects, and more: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/drugs-kesimpta

I think you are asking a good question about being on the medication for 3 months with no results. It helps me to plan my conversations with the doctor before my appointment. Here is a website that has helped me with some tools for planning my doctor visit conversation - https://patientrevolution.org/visit-tools

Have you had a chance to discuss it with your doctor or neurologist?

John,

Thanks for the response and tips on using Connect.
Just now knowing there's not many discussing Kesimpta is informative.
As far as using the site, I think replies are a good start. I have a 3 month appointment coming up to meet with my neurologist to discuss the medication.
I could really use any suggestions on bringing up another medication that has worked for someone else. However however, I have been a subcontractor for so long and do not have insurance. I need to keep that in mind always.I found her disability after I found out the diagnosis.I have an attorney but the process is still slow. My wife and I are hemorrhaging money on doctor's medications et cetera
