Pik:
It is, indeed, costly. So the investment may not be for everyone, even if the person can afford it. I tried the Walk Aid before the Bioness and I didn’t feel that it worked as well for me.
I’ve done pretty well with Lemtrada and I’m glad that I was treated with it. The standard course of treatment is two rounds. The first is five infusions over five days in a row. The second round is three infusions over three consecutive days. There can be side-effects. The most serious for me was severe fatigue, but I also developed a strep infection shortly after my first round. It was cleared quickly with an antibiotic.
I’ve written several columns about my Lemtrada treatments. Here’s a link to the most recent one. There’s a link in that column to an earlier one and you can also search on this website for “My Lemtrada Journey” to read many others.
