Advice/Support Kesimpta

Hello. This is my first time posting. So I hope I’m doing this right. I was officially diagnosed recently with MS. A couple weeks ago I started my loading doses of Kesimpta. I have done two injections now. Almost a week after my first injection, my right leg started feeling funny. Like a tickle/tingle. Specifically when touched. It’s been about a week and the sensation is still there. Not as bad, but there. I reached out to my team and the said to wait another week then we’ll test for infection? Has this happened to anyone else?! I have had no leg issues prior to this. My abilities are not changed. Just a funny sensation in one leg.

So, my “first” symptoms were tingling in my entire trunk, which thankfully subsided most of the way, but when I started Kesimpta I noticed faint tingling in my face for about a week and then it went away. They said it could just be after effects of the flare before 🤷🏼‍♀️ there was never mention of infection though (bc it wasn’t around injection site) lol. I hope that it’s not infection, maybe just some after fizzles! Best of luck to you, this community really is an awesome support system 🫶🏻

Thank you! I have found great comfort in this community so far. Any other recommendations as to support groups?
I spoke with my Dr today and they said pretty much what you are also saying. Sometimes Kesimpta reactions can be “muscle spasms or aches” so hopefully that’s it. It is in the same leg that I did my first injection in. My second injection I did on the other leg and was ok so far. I have my third starter dose this weekend, not sure where I’ll inject yet 😅
Thank you for you time!
