Have you looked at the literature about Lemtrada to see if it’s mentioned? I think it’s a good question for your neurologist.

There are websites designated for interactions for places where cannabis is a legal medication.

Oklahoma votes on it June 26th, state question 788.

Hi Pj888 welcome! Although the DX stinks.

As far as your question goes, like greaterexp says that is one for your Neuro. And if it's legal in your state.

My Neuro have me a funny look, but I don't think he took me seriously.😄😄

I had not read about Lemtrada till now. It looks like it has so many side effects possibilities that cannabis should not matter 🤷🏼‍♂️ That’s just my opinion. Are you in a state where it’s legal🤷🏼‍♂️ I have several friends that use it for MS and edibles are popular and they say that it helps. I am in Idaho and it’s not legal here..... Good luck and let us know what happens 🤷🏼‍♂️ 👍🐾🐶🐾 Ken

Check with your neurologist. I tried CBD oil last fall. 4-5 drops under the tongue 👅 twice daily and received no benefit. Hubby vapes for his glaucoma. As far as vaping for symptoms, it would be good for treating pain only. Check healthunlocked.com/api/redi... or maybe with your pharmacist.

I use medical cannabis for MS and migraine pain, and I am on Tecfidera. Don't know about Lemtrada, though. Best thing to do is to ask your MS health care provider.
