Bounce and Spring

Happy  Spring ! ( ok , well kind of…). The weather isn’t sure what it’s doing at the moment and I can feel my body trying to fight of f  the dreaded lurgy just  as  we break off for half term.

Now, I don’t want to get too pumped up about this because the results may actually show it’s not the right thing for me, but after speaking to a friend and reading some forums around this treatment, I really want to get on it.    Lemtrada  is an infusion taken in two doses; your first lot, over five days and the second lot over three days a year later. It kicks out parts of your immune system and forces it to reboot, so hop
