Guest presenter and MS Trust volunteer, Will, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2015. Here he raids our archive to talk about disease modifying drugs (DMDs). Featuring input from MS nurse advisor, Nikki Embrey, Will covers key questions including how to tell whether a treatment is working, how long to stick with a DMD that is causing intolerable side effects, and whether you can have the flu vaccine when you're on a DMD. All views are Will's own.
