Timeline for my Lemtrada treatment

Here is a brief synopsis of the timeline that I had to get this drug.


  • November 2014 - Stopped taking Tysabri put on Tecfidera as a stop gap, Lemtrada had just gotten approval the Friday before my meeting with my neurologist.

  • From November 2014 until the end of May 2015 - waiting for the drug to go through a heavily restricted process mandated by the FDA called REMS and taking tecfidera the whole time which was not much fun.

  • June 1st - June 5th 2015 - Finally received my Lemtrada treatment

I will go into more details as to some of the insanity that I had to deal with to finally receive treatment.
