Newly diagnosed.. about to start Ocrevus
Hi all
Newbie here
Was diagnosed a couple of weeks ago waiting for a date to start Ocrevus.
Its been a crazy two years. I was told I had a stroke two years ago but then a couple of weeks ago neurologists confirmed it was MS showing itself for the first time. I already greived through having a “stroke” which was traumatic enough as they couldn’t find a reason why… it was because it was MS.. i had my second relapse 8 months ago and now i have been diagnosed.
I feel quite isolated at the moment and alone and just feel generally sad. Its been tough but i am eager to start treatment now and really hope this helps me in terms of relapsed etc etc.
what do people pack in their bags for their Ocrevus infusions? Any tips ?
I'm also newly diagnosed, and due to start Ocrevus on Friday! So no helpful tips from me, but just a note to say hello and I know how you feel! Good luck, hope you get a date soon : )
I take my phone and headphones to listen to audio dramas. Mine offer food and drinks but if yours don’t some water and something to eat as it’s a 4 hr average to get the infusion.
