Maddie: If I had to describe myself in one word, I would say that I’m genuine.


Super: GENUINE

Charlotte: One word to describe me is fortitude.


Being strong and living with MS looks like being in a fight every day and loving yourself.


Super: FORTITUDE



CHARLOTTE W.,
TAKING VUMERITY FOR 3+ YEARS

Maddie: I was diagnosed in 2011. I was 24 years old.


From the get-go I felt like I had to be my own advocate.


Super: MADDIE S.,
TAKING VUMERITY FOR 2+ YEARS


BE MY OWN ADVOCATE

Charlotte: I stay in the moment by meditating as a MS patient, of course stress is not good. To be able to do my singing bowl helps me to relax my mind


Super: STAY IN THE MOMENT

Maddie: I had heard about VUMERITY, so I talked to my healthcare provider and discussed the different benefits and risks with the treatment option and decided that it was a good fit for me.


Super: A GOOD FIT FOR ME

Charlotte: I had to advocate for myself. I knew what I needed, and I wasn’t shy about discussing it with my healthcare team. As soon as I found out there were pill options, I asked about them. Together with my neurologist I weighed the side effects against the benefits of VUMERITY.


 

Maddie: VUMERITY really works well with my life. I love Biogen’s support services as well. I’m very grateful for the Copay Assistance Program. I wouldn’t be able to necessarily afford a lot of these treatments but knowing that I have the Copay Assistance Program allows me to still receive that treatment. Everyone’s experience is different, but for me, I have not had a single relapse since I started VUMERITY. So as long as I continue to get good results from my brain MRIs, I plan to stay with VUMERITY.


Super: Pay as little as $0 for VUMERITY with the Biogen Copay Program. Eligibility restrictions and financial limitations apply.
