Thanks, dude. And my heart goes out to all who shared their stories. Comforting to remember i'm not alone in this.

Sure, i'll smash with you anytime. *pause*

Would have freaked if the neurologist told me i got more off treatment. Lemtrada sounds like the good shit!

Lemtrada was originally developed as a leukemia treatment.

It's an IV infusion drug that is essentially chemical chemotherapy. It wipes. You. Out. So, you need nurses checking on you for 8 hours a day for 5 days.

When I got on it, the drug was not long past human trials. It isn't cheap! Like 12,000 CAD. Per day. For 8 days over two year.

The US cost? 30,000 USD per day. Same thing.

But because Saskatchewan, Canada has the most MS patients per capita in the entire world, there are many resources to take advantage of.

I got on compassionate care, and I will likely never see a bill.

It also helps that my neurologist is the head of MS research at the Univ. of Saskatchewan! Dr. Michael Levin. The rock star neuro lmao. The kind that makes the ladies at the support groups go: YOU HAVE DR. LEVIN!?
