  • Starting Round 2 of Lemtrada

    On Monday, April 9 I’ll be starting my second round of Lemtrada.

    My first round went well and I’ve written about it in several of my The MS Wire columns on the MS News Today website. I’ll be doing the same for Round 2 and I’ll post something here on this forum to alert everyone when these new columns are posted.

    The first day of Round 2 had a little speed bump. About 15 minutes before the end of the Lemtrada infusion I had a blood pressure drop and I felt dizzy and shivery. This has happened to me in the past, starting log before Lemtrada infusions, so I don’t think this was connected to the infusion or the drug. Neither does my neurologist. This feeling passed, and my BP returned to normal, after I spent about half an hour fully reclined in the infusion chair.

    I’m back in the chair for Day 2 as I write this and will keep everyone posted on how things go today.
