Hi Gem, if you do a search on here you will find loads of posts. I've not visited the facebook sites for a while so not sure what the general opinion is these days but I've had it and have been fine. I finished my second year of treatment in 2016. I've had no relapses since and my mobility has remained fine. In fact I don't feel like I have MS - that said I was fine before symptom while so in my case its hard to tell if its not anything. All I can say confidently is that I've continued to be symptom free. My last MRI was stable too. Somewhat interestingly which may or may not be lemtrada related is that my eyesight has improved since having the treatment and I no longer need glasses. I had a bad first episode of MS and the end of 2012 which left me with some slight residue damage to my sight. Nearly 6 years later it seems to have resolved. The actual treatment was ok. I got the rash and spent a few days in bed recovering. I felt tired and a bit rough for 2/3 days after. For both rounds I was back at work within a week or two.

Hi @gemmaw and welcome to our exclusive club. Yes, there have been numerous conversations about Lemtrada. These can be located by selecting the "Lemtrada" tag that has been added to the end of your post above. I can understand your concern about this therapy. It is a major decision with some risk. But, this risk has to be seen against the risk of what MS can do to you. The risks with MS are unpredictable, but the risks with Lemtrada are known and you will be closely monitored. So read other's accounts, views and questions then you can make your choice. Feel free to ask as many questions as you like.
