Deciding on new meds

I finally saw the MS specialist, turns out my neurologist was wrong. I do not have new lesions or larger ones. Giving all the glory to God for that. However he is recommending that I do start one of the two IV infusions. With these meds there are obviously possible side effects. I’m curious if any of you are getting these infusions and if so, how are you doing with them? First is Tysabri, once a month infusion. I test negative for JC Virus so I’m being told getting that infection would be rare but I would have to get my blood work done every 6 months to make sure I don’t develop it. Second is Rituximab (generic for Truxima), how are you doing on it regarding your immune system? I know we are all different and our bodies don’t react the same as others but I’m just trying to get a consensus of how they affect anyone who is taking them.

I am on the Ocrevus infusions every 6 months. It has worked well for me. No progression or flare ups for years no. No side affects to date. Good luck.
