For Multiple Sclerosis "This medicine is the worst. I had side effects I ever had. I had a sore throat, itching, legs tightening. Please, guys, don't take this med. Because before I had this medicine, I looked at all the bad comments, and I just didn't think it would happen to me. Wow! But it did."

For Multiple Sclerosis "First time taking my Kesimpta injection last night, it was painless and was fine for the first hour. After 1 hour, I had chills and back pain. After 4 hours, I had a fever that got to 101.09 and went to bed using an ice pack. That helped and took the fever down. The next morning, I felt 100%, but I have itching on my face. Going to call the doctor to see if this is serious. Hope everyone is doing well, and good luck."

For Multiple Sclerosis "I just finished my initial doses. All were different, the first dose I got a sore throat, itchy without a rash, went to bed, and woke up with the most excruciating muscle and joint pain I've ever experienced. Dose number two hurt more than the first, my throat was sore and I was again itchy all over without a rash, but no body aches. Dose three was only the itchiness, but I just didn't feel good for about a week. I had all my injections on a Sunday. For the first two, on Thursday, I had some minor vertigo and a short-lived temp increase to about 101 F. I rotated my injections on my thighs, however, with each injection, I felt like I received an injection in my left upper arm. Very weird."
