Ocrevus

Hi all 👋. Just a question about Ocrevus treatment. Just wondering if anyone knows of any reason why I wouldn’t receive my infusion? I am concerned that I will catch my child’s raging cold/cough. My infusion is due soon and I am concerned it may be delayed if I have the lurgy. 🤷‍♀️

Asthma and Ocrevus

Hello 👋 I’m in Scotland and newly diagnosed with RRMS a couple weeks ago. I’m trying to decide which treatment to go on. It needs to be a highly effective one. My neurologist and MS nurse are very much in favour of Ocrevus. We have also discussed Tysabri but they are pushing me more towards Ocrevu...

Tysabri and Ocrevus

Hi everyone, I've just had a relapse while on Gilenya so I'm going to be changing treatment to either Tysabri or an antiCD20 molecule like Kesimpta. I was wondering whether it gets progressively more difficult to find a vein for iv access once a month while taking Tysabri? Also, does anyone have ex...

Hello, I’m new here, I’m 38 and I’m in the uk. I’ve been diagnosed for about 5 years with relapsing remitting. I generally get EVERY side effect (for example Tecfidera caused me to lose 2 stone) After my MRI at Christmas my neurologist described me as ‘moderately severe’ and after that things have...

Relapse when Ocrevus treatment in 3 weeks - can I have steroids?

I’m stressing. I’ve had RRMS for 10 years. Both MS nurses resigned recently at my hospital. My Ocrevus treatment was never scheduled, luckily I rang to find out what was happening, so I’m a month late having the infusion. Now a relapse… Does anyone know if I should even consider steroids it being ...

First Ocrevus description

In case it's of interest to anyone, here's my diary of a first Ocrevus infusion. The day before, I was advised to drink a lot of water. Being hydrated helps the nurses find a vein. Got there at 8:20 for an 8:30 appointment, and was ushered straight through to a comfy chair. My blood pressure, hear...

Ocrevus first half dose today

Hey y’all I started ocrevus today, had my first half dose. I had itchy ears, mouth and throat but it went away pretty quickly. Right after I felt like I had a mild flu. Light aches, headache and fatigue. Not bad just enough to be uncomfortable. How did you guys feel after taking it?

Ocrevus to Kesimpta

Hi everyone, I spoke to my neurologist today and I am swapping to Kesimpta in July from Ocrevus after 2.5 years. I am swapping because Ocrevus leaves me feeling so wiped out pre and post infusion. I’ve also been getting chest pain and I think it has stemmed from Ocrevus. I also got infusion reaction...
