i took infusions for 1.5 years. There's no pain at all. The sessions are every 4 weeks, so the first three you feel excellent. I felt all the symprtoms were coming back on the 4th week.
You have to check for JC Virus in your blood every month or three. Once you get, or if you get JC virus (which is a common virus in 80% of humans) you can't take i fission anymore.
Ask your Neuro to put you on Tecfidera, the pill. I find that very good.

I finished my first round of lemtrada early December and I am feeling better than ever. Just keep yourself well hydrated during the infusion, the key is to keep positive and lay back and relax !!

I did it once. I just laid back and relaxed. It did not have hurt at all. Within a couple of hours I felt better. It brushed the MS into the background 🤓
