Hi!
It’s lovely to hear from you and thank you for enquiring about my progress.
I have made a decision and been in Kesimpta for a few weeks. I just took my 4th dose this week.
So far I had quite strong headaches the first 2 times I took it, my 3rd dose was pain free but with the 4th dose I felt very nauseous and strong headache for a day or so. So it’s not too bad on the whole. The injection process is super easy and pain-free.
I can say that headaches are part of the side effects for me but I hope it will be different for you after your Brabio experience.
Oo… so you went for Kesimpta yeah, lately from what I’ve read about the initial injections doesn’t sound too inspiring but hopefully it is just the first few times…
Also what i didn’t know before, although its a monthly injection, at the start there are some “loading” doses that are injected more frequently? Also from what youve said that in a few weeks you’ve already done 4… is that so that there are frequent injections at the start?
I hope it gets better for you! Good the injections are painfree. Fingers crossed its also my experience with Kesimpta.
Yes, I opted for the at-home method as I didn’t want to have to go to the hospital for the infusions regularly. I find it easier to do it myself - and it’s an easy routine.
Yes, the first few doses are done weekly (over 3 weeks) than a week rest and the 4th dose. After this, it’s a monthly dose (on the same date as your 4th dose so it’s easy to remember).
I am lucky with side effects as they are mild so far.
yeah, lately from what I’ve read about the initial injections doesn’t sound too inspiring but hopefully it is just the first few times…
