So I asked my consultant if I can start Lemtrad treatment and he asked me if I wanted children anyone has it is know to have a effect on your fertility. So he has advices me to start Betaferon. Is anyone on this and what do you think?
Hey. Honestly that's the first time I've heard that. Lemtrada doesn't really effect a person's fertility and stuff. Before I started it I was informed that I just shouldn't during the time after. I know I'm just 19 but the only MS drug that causes complete infertility is stem cell treatment. Now thinking which drug is better- betaferon/lemtrada. I think both those drugs do help, I think it's more about whether you want to constantly prick yourself. In my own undetgoings I prefer lemtrada as it's a stronger drug. I don't know if this helped at all but I hope it did
