I had a third dose of alamtuzumab a couple months ago. I took the acyclovir as instructed and all was good but I took my triplets for a well visit and they got the chicken pox booster. I didn't think about it because I've had chicken pox. I forgot about the possibility of getting shingles and now I ...

Has anyone out here used this before. After my worst exacerbation to date I had 3 days of IV solumedrol followed by a methylprednisolone dose pack.

I forgot to add diet - I am gluten free and eat a little lean red meat and chicken. I do not eat much fish since I live in KY so I'm landlocked. If it smells fishy it makes me gag. Mostly it smells fishy.

How do I get one or two if the first is negative?

Back in 2006 when I was dx'd with MS I was told that Lyme disease doesn't cause spinal cord lesions so if you have brain lesions and spinal cord lesions then it's definitely MS. No lyme test was done. If I only had brain lesions they would have ordered a lyme test. Has anyone else been told this?

I take a low dose aspirin every day and have done alemtuzumab three times. The last time was two weeks ago. Low dose aspirin has health benefits that outweigh the possible risks IMO.

Thanks for the response shaight. Does anybody else have any input?

I received my third dose m-w of this past week. I deliberated about it also due to a documented flair that I recovered from but after losing my balance, hitting the kitchen floor, and getting eight stitches over my eyebrow a few weeks ago I decided to do it.
