Ocrevus first dose
Hi everyone,
I’m getting my first Ocrevus infusion next week and feeling a bit nervous.
Any tips for before, during, or after? Thanks a lot!:)

Bring a book or something to entertain yourself you will be there for 3-5 hours. I brought snacks and drinks even though they have some, and I also brought my own blanket. I was nervous before but after my first infusion I felt like it was nothing to worry about for me anyway everyone is different. And if you can bring a friend or family member if your nervous that helps alot to. After my first infusion I felt great. After my second I felt extremely fatigued it happens. Good luck!!
Hydrate hydrate hydrate, you will be sitting in the chair for 4-6 hrs depending on how fast the drip is, Benadryl will knock you out at least that what it does to me, bring phone charger too or tablet or book, bring snacks also
