Hiking in Madeira, Portugal with MS

I’ve hiked the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu(4 days/ 3 nights) and have done many 4K footer hikes in the US.

I would love to hear from folks with Multiple Sclerosis who have hiked in Madeira, Portugal.

I’m looking into the “Hiking in Madeira” tour with G Adventures, but I’m worried that it might be too much for me.

I’ve been on Kesimpta for two years now. This month, two days after the injection I began experiencing worse headaches, flu like symptoms, fever, body aches- on day four I broke out in hives. I went to the ER and was given steroids. I have not started new meds, switched detergent or body products. I’ve stopped taking all my supplements.

Recently saw an allergist and they’re convinced it’s the Kesimpta.

Has anyone else experienced an allergic reaction to Kesimpta months or years after being on the medication??
