Lemtrada experience
My husband was diagnosed over 20 years ago with rrms but over the last year he has progressed fast and is having terrible trouble walking. He also has terrible leg spasms and takes medication for it but sometimes even the maximum dose doesn't help. He is hoping to start Lemtrada very soon. We are just awaiting approval. I have never joined a support group before because before the past year his MS didn't change our life too much. I now feel very depressed and so afraid for our future. I have children and I don't really talk to anyone about this because he doesn't want anyone to know he has MS for fear it will effect his career which I totally understand. I would like to know if there is anyone out there in a similar situation that has had positive results with Lemtrada.
@suemsspouse , it's good of you to join us, to support your husband. Lemtrada, also known as Alemtuzumab, and once known as Campath, has been the subject of a lot of discussion recently. You can search out these discussions by using the forum search facility (the magnifying glass, top left) and entering Lemtrada as your search term. @US-Emma has had first hand experience and will share her experiences. Her experiences are also shared here :- http://lemtrada.blogspot.co.uk/ :wink:
If you follow the Barts MS Research blog, there's a lot of really positive comments about Alemtuzamab. The general view seems to be that it's a great pity all MSers can't be put on it straight away! xx
