- Take Aciclovir 200mg twice a day for prevention of herpes viral infection for 1 month.
- The rash will probably come back for a few days, don't panic just take Chlorphenamine 4mg every 4-6 hours (no more than 6 times a day) take as needed.
- If you feel sick or nauseous take 50mg Cyclizine up to 3times a day, take as required. I took this for the first 4 days on Lemtrada but as I hadn't been or felt sick, I stopped taking it as I didn't need it.
- Avoid listeria risk foods to eliminate risk of listerisosis, which can cause serious infection in the immune compromised. You should be provided guidance from the hospital, but you can find loads of info on the internet easily enough.
I started Lemtrada treatment on Monday 14 September 2015 and this is my blog to let you now what happened next. I wanted to do this just to let other people with MS know what my experiences of Lemtrada are and hopefully help support people considering taking Lemtrada to make a decision regarding their own treatment choice. I'm not sure how good Lemtrada works for me yet, but this will be the documentation of how it goes for me.
