7th week since Lemtrada

Ok so Monday was the start of the 7th week since I went in for treatment. This week has been great and I would say yesterday was the best day yet! I have times of stiffness in my legs where my walking looks a bit dodgey but it tends to pass after a while! I think physio has definitely helped and I’m seeing her again today so we shall see what she thinks the difference has been after a week of physio!

Thank you for your post today and i am glad that you are doing well after your Lemtrada treatment. I am due to start it in a few months just waiting for a date as it will be at charring cross hospital in london, they only have 2 beds to adminster the treatment. Please keep posting your experience as you progress through your treatment. Wish you well with your treatment.

Thanks for the reply, I seen my neurologist and ms nurse in January so they said it would be a 3 month wait so fingers crossed.

Thanks for your messages! I did not have to wait long at all I was very lucky, it was suggested I take Lemtrada in December and I went in for treatment on the 23 January so I didn’t wait long at all x

Question @gates 1989, did the Lemtrada make you fatigued much after treatment? I know everyone is different but be interested to know. X

Hi @geordie57 yes it did, the week after I was like a zombie, I also had dizziness to go with it so spent a lot of time laying down! But since then it’s disappeared and each week I seem to be improving, although I will say later in the day yesterday I was not feeling too well, I fell asleep at 4.15! But I’m not bothered about one bad afternoon! X

Hey
I came out of hospital after my treatment yesterday. After an eon waiting. Not feeling too bad. Fingers crossed things will go from strength to strength for you. Hope to be dealing ok with diet advice and sick people…

Hi @bienenstich what’s an eon waiting? You’ll be fine! Touch wood I haven’t got any illnesses and I’m very lucky my mum took on the responsibility of cooking for me! Beans on toast is a great fall back though! Good luck! I’m feeling good today, done my physio and I’m off out this afternoon! Would never have dreamt of doing this in December x
