This article is badly garbled in spots but it concerns an |
|
Australian woman (in her 60s, I believe) who has had MS for 35 |
|
years. Since hers is SPMS, she would like to take siponimod but |
|
was denied coverage through the health care system. This looks |
|
like a situation where she is no longer having relapses and so |
|
isn't considered a good candidate for siponimod but that part |
|
isn't made clear. |

This notice from MS Australia (December 20, 2019) makes the |
|
situation somewhat clearer: |
