Lemtrada- immune system recovery?

My understanding of Lemtrada (in very simple terms) is that it kills part of your immune system so it cannot attack your brain / spinal cord, and when that part of your immune system grows back hopefully it stops attacking. Question I have is around how long (ball park) it would takes for your immu...

Chicken pox and lemtrada - n

Hi I'm starting lemtrada in 3 weeks. Got friends over later for a bbq and one of them has chicken pox (child not adult). My boy needs to get it at some point. Is it a really bad idea to rub him over this child 3 weeks before my treatment? I've had chickenpox as a child. Thanks Sam

Ocrevus compared to Lemtrada compared to Cladribine

Are there any scientists out there who can explain to me why when you take Lemtrada or mavenclad you expect your immune system to grow back and behave itself after two or three treatments, but with ocrevus you have to keep taking it?

Lemtrada

Hi, does anyone know of MS centres in London or the South East that are using Lemtrada (alemtuzumab). I know Barts would be one but any others? Also has anyone been offered it recently for highly active or rapidly evolving MS? Many thanks

Moving to Lemtrada - Yippee

Despite having MS for 28y, I had a conversation - f2f! - with my new neuro and he gladly agreed to my request to be moved from Ocrelizumb (Ocrevus) to Alemtuzumab (Lemtrada). Not only is it arguably a more highly efficacious drug than ocrelizumab it doesn't come freighted with the much publicised a...

Started with betaferon for 10years, hated the injections. Then got moved to Gilenya for 3 years which unfortunately didn't cover me very well. I had two rel...

Lemtrada

Hi, I’m coming up to 5 years since my last infusion of Lemtrada (so looking forward to going from monthly bloods to 3 monthly bloods) I’m new to the group and i just wondered who else has had it and how they found it? and how they are doing? Doesn’t seem to be many people taking it anymore?
