I am currently taking Tecfidera and may switch to a new drug based on lesion progression upon brain MRI. My doc suggested Aubagio but I'm considering Lemtrada. I just did my research on Lemtrada and the listed possible side effects scare the hell out of me! Are any of you on this med concerned about the possible effects down the road??

Possible MS 1993, RRMS, Dx 2007, SPMS 2013. Avonex - Oct '07 - Jul '12, Gilenya - Sept '12 to May '13, Tecfidera - June '13 to present. You see things as they are and you ask why..I dream of things that never were and I ask 'Why Not?!' -
I was on Tysabri, then Aubagio, and just had my 2nd course of Lemtrada. All three, along with pretty much every other drug I have read about has scary warnings. For me, I just tried to make an educated decision along with my doctor's advice on which would be best for my situation.
So yes I'm worried about down the road, but the risk/reward of Lemtrada seems best for me and I do not question my decision. -
G'day guys start lemtrada 31/10 scared you bet, CraigComment
