Ocrevus and Pregnancy

Hi all! I am on Ocrevus, and I am wanting to start a family soon. I wondered if anyone had any experience with getting pregnant on Ocrevus and how long you waited after your infusion to get pregnant. I have seen so much conflicting advice around how long to wait before trying, and my MS nurse said t...

Is sugar during pregnancy ok?

Hi, I gave up added sugar for the most part because of my MS. Now that I’m pregnant, I’m wondering if I can safely have it now. I’m obviously aware that sugar isn’t good for me. I went off of meds so I could get pregnant one more time. I’m under the impression that my immune system will be so busy p...

DMT decision - Ocrevus, Kesimpta, Tysabri...ooh my!!!

*Update - my JC virus came back positive. Although very low, Tysabri wouldn't be recommended so it looks like my decision is a little easier. Kesimpta or Ocrevus 🙈 I am now the happy owner of a BRIGHT SHINY left sided optic neuritis episode, confirmed by MRI. 💥🎉 Thankfully, I can now move up to...

Kesimpta and periods

Hi all, I've recently started taking Kesimpta (had my 3 loading doses and week off) and my 4th is tomorrow. Has anyone found that it has messed with their period cycle?

Ocrevus zunovo shot

Has anyone tried the new ocrevus zunovo shot? I am on Kesimpta now and love it but my husband and I want to have another baby. My neurologist recommended to take the new ocrevus shot to keep my brain “protected” before we start trying for a baby then continue after the pregnancy. Any thoughts on thi...
