Stopping Gilenya to start Mavenclad

Stopped almost three weeks ago and have started to have pain all over and incredible mood swings. Has anyone experienced this. I work full time as a nurse and have found it almost impossible to organize my thoughts since stopping.

New treatment Ocrelizumab or Mavenclad

My neurologist has suggested Ocrelizumab or Mavenclad. He saidBoth are equally effective. Ocrelizumab is 6monthly infusion, while Mavenclad is oral medication-a 2year-course treatment, with 20day-doses over 2year period. Confused? Can I ask members for their experience with either treatments 🤔
