Made my choice of desease modifying therapy. So we wait for those approvals then 5 days of infusions.

3 days infusions six months after and so on. I told them to kill it. They offered me Lemtrada…

12 years ago I was diagnosed with MS. Plenty of ups but lots of downs ! 5 years ago I was given an opportunity to try a drug called lemtrada, it has been a game changer. I have had to get my bloods checked monthly since, today was my last one! game changer relapse free 5 yrs !!

Another month, another set of bloods ✅

Post #alemtuzumab #lemtrada I’ll have 4 years of monthly blood monitoring.

Diolch, NHS 💙

Is Lemtrada as effective as HSCT in inducing long-term MS remission. Probably not. This Austrian registry showed that after many years, the majority start a new disease modifying therapy (panel D). Though relapse rates remain low. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38715245/

Fun w/language! As caregiver for 2 seniors who love Italian food, Sara's struck by the # of meds that sound like Italian dishes. Of the 6 listed, can you guess which is which? No peeking! Good luck.

Another visit to the QEUH neurology building to end year 4 of post Lemtrada blood checks. 4 down, 1 to go and it’s so far so good 🤞

In Australia, PwMS and doctors are opting for higher-efficacy therapies. Group 3 (Tysabri, kesimpta, lemtrada, ocrevus, gilenya, mavenglad, mayzent, zeposia) now represents 75% of prescribed drugs for MS. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13…

For children with multiple sclerosis, early use of high-efficacy therapy (HET) [Tysabri, Lemtrada, ocrevus, mavenclad, kesimpta, etc] was linked to a 54% lower risk of first relapse compared to moderately effective therapy (MET) in this observational study medscape.com/viewarticle/fi…

What is the risk of getting a second autoimmune disease as a complication of taking Lemtrada for multiple sclerosis? About 28% per this meta analysis, though about 80% of the time, it is autoimmune thyroid disease which is usually treatable. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38690271/

2/ According to a survey:
76.6% PwMS would choose HSCT over Lemtrada
58.4% PwMS are ready to take the risk of dying from HSCT
