First Ocrevus Infusion Side Effects!

Hey everyone! I just had my first Ocrevus infusion today and I already have a sore throat and runny nose. The nurses started the process by infusing paracetamol, then steroids and lastly antithistamine. The entire process took 5 hours and 30 minutes and although I'm not experiencing any other side effects as of now, even the runny nose and sore throat is pissing me off. Is it common? If so, how long will it last? How do I know if it's just me having allergy or a respiratory tract infection is on the way? Thanks in advance!

Sorry that you had a bad first experience. My MS nurse told me that cold or flu like symptoms are common for the first 1-3 times, but then you shouldn't have any more ]

@ChiMum Yikes, next infusion in 2 weeks and no way do I want to go through this again 😭 Hopefully it gets better tomorrow
