Definitely ask her to ask the doctor. I was on Copaxone 10 years thinking the way I felt was normal, until I went on Tysabri. Then they put me on Tecfidera. But White blood cell count went to low, back on Tysabri now I am feeling much better!

I was given Lemtrada last year early on in my MS journey! It has all been good so far no reactions so far! Just the Lemtrada rash which after taking Piriton and a cool bath it went by morning! I feel very blessed by giving me the opportunity early on in my diagnosis! My husband tells my disability is better than before! I guess I don't notice because I am dealing with it daily! I certainly feel better! I will be having an MRI again in August! If you want to ask me any questions feel free! I know there are some adverse interactions with other DMT's check with your consultant and nurse! I am really pleased I made this decision, things could change tomorrow but that could be true for everybody! All DMD's carry risks, but not as dangerous as travelling on the motorway or freeway these days!

They always put you on copaxone first - which sucks cause you just continue to get more lesions. I then had to take betaseron, got worse. Tysabri was a god send - I haven't had a relapse in over 5 years. ( I do get the crappy symptoms of ms).

Yes Lemtrada is an IV infusion for 5 days in a row first year, then 3 days the next year.
