Ocrevus infusion

I had an appointment with my MS nurse yesterday who said that come New Year they’re looking at changing the infusion. I know there’s been talks about this as a single injection but the way it works is you will still have to go into hospital and they will put a syringe drive into your tummy which will last for about 30 minutes and then you have to sit for an hour afterwards . I did ask if I still have to have the steroids to be told yes but this will be oral not IV hope this helps people who has been worrying how it will work

I asked this question at my yearly check up and the way he explained it, was that the infusion was a more pleasant experience and thw injection would leave lumps on the skin etc. By the way, I had my infusion last week and always get sore throats and ulcers on my mouth followed by a heavy cold..anyone else?
