Delusional until I die
Hey guys I just got back from my first dose of subcutaneous Ocrevus and need to have a laugh at myself 😂 I really convinced myself that since treatment would be much quicker this time, I would bounce back really easily and have no side effects. I’ve been laughing at myself for the last hour as I lie on the couch mildly dying of exhaustion.
My general rule with treatment is that I take treatment day off and two days after because Ocrevus wipes me out. Every time it comes around I convince myself that I’m taking more than I need and ‘you don’t need THAT much recovery time’ and without fail after I leave the hospital and come home I’m thinking ‘you absolutely need that time off.’
I was actually thinking about going to the gym or for a run after treatment, only now do I see how stupid that is hahaha
P.S. My usual IV treatment generally takes 5 hours, subcut took 2 hours, would recommend for anyone wanting more recovery time at home!

After taking a IV tomorrow, I was going to take care of a few things three hours later, but I think I’ll just go home and go to sleep.
@Tomtom52 I think because they’re spaced 6 months apart, it gives me time to believe the next recovery will be a breeze, my internal monologue needs a reality check ahahah
