Lemtrada or Mavenclad?

Hi, after being advised to come off Ocrevus because of Covid concerns, the MDT has approved me for either Lemtrada or Mavenclad. How do you choose between 2 very different treatments! Obviously Mavenclad is very attractive because taking tablets is very convenient compared to going into hospital for infusions (although I am self employed so the hospital is fine by me). Any advice? Hopefully there will be no mix-ups like my first blood test where the blood was collected in the wrong tube so I had to go back today for a repeat test!!

Look on the MS society website there is a lot of helpful information on there about DMT’s. Mavenclad is classed as good, where as Lemtrada is classed as highly effective but the higher the drugs are rated normally the risks and side effects are. Personally I would opt for Lemtrada - I’m fairly newly diagnosed with highly active RRMS and have just had my 2nd treatment of Tysabri.

I had this choice and chose Mav. Lemtrada was too much work with bloods and the possible side effects were scary
