Treatment

Post Body

I took my first loading dose today, roughly around 3 hours ago and I am struggling. No signs of PML or anything but I’ve got a massive headache and some fever like symptoms.

It sucks.

Is it like this every dose or does it get better?

YES! don't be worried! The first doses are kind of a kick in the head but your body adjusts very quickly!!! Give yourself grace, rest, and hydration. Kesimpta is amazing and it's the only drug to stop new lesions for me, it's worth it. Good luck warrior!

ETA: now I don't feel it at all (except being kinda tired a few days before my next dose is due), and I take it before bed so I just sleep it off!
