Questions about Ocrevus injection

Hi, I’m Addy and I just got diagnosed with RRMS this week (based in England). After reading the official websites, I still have some questions below about the Ocrevus injection (not the infusion), so would appreciate any insight. Thanks! [1] How often do you need to visit a clinic for monitoring and tests (such as blood tests) between the 6-monthly Ocrevus injections? [2] For those in England, roughly how long was the wait between selecting the treatment to getting your first dose? [3] How painful is the actual injection into the stomach? [4] Anyone able to give a comparison of Ocrevus injection vs infusion, in terms of effectiveness and side effects? FYI I was recommended Ocrevus injection by my neurologist, not the infusion (i.e. it wasn’t mentioned).
