I received an alert about new medication out there for all relapsing symptoms with MS. I was excited 
then depleted
. What I don’t get is WHY would someone do this, having MS is hard enough without all this other crap happening. Instead of focusing on a more promising 2 year study for a treatment such as stem cell they make drugs. Bound and determined not to let MS kick my butt!!
Here are the side effects:
When considering LEMTRADA as your relapsing MS medicine, it’s important to discuss potential common and serious side effects with your healthcare provider. In two 2-year clinical trials, LEMTRADA was studied in over 800 patients.

These are not all the possible side effects of LEMTRADA. Call your healthcare provider for medical advice about side effects that bother you or don’t go away.
Monitoring is just as important as getting treatment. While LEMTRADA is given in just 2 treatment courses over 2 years, regular monitoring is very important because some of the side effects of LEMTRADA can happen months and even years after treatment.
Serious side effects can include autoimmune diseases, which may cause death. These may include blood, thyroid, and kidney disorders (i.e., anti-glomerular basement membrane disease). Kidney disease can lead to kidney failure needing dialysis or transplant and can be life-threatening if untreated.

😱LEMTRADA may also be associated with some kinds of cancers, including skin cancer (melanoma), thyroid cancer, and blood cancers (i.e., lymphoproliferative disorders and lymphoma). 😱😖
