Many things have changed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic but regardless of this situation, your healthcare continues. People living with MS may be asked to change the manner in which their healthcare team works with them during this time. Rather than face-to-face consultations, some clinicians are using telemedicine to engage with their patients. People living with MS may already have had a consultation with their consultant, MS nurse or member of their team over the phone but for many, this may be a new experience.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, we must all be cognisant of the steps we need to take in order to ensure we are taking care of ourselves. For those on disease-modifying therapies, this includes ensuring that necessary bloods are taken to ensure safety on these medications. We have been informed of the following collective advice from neurologists in Ireland in relation to the frequency of blood monitoring on the various disease-modifying therapies for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. If you have any concerns please contact a member of your healthcare team.
