Side effects of medication

I’m on a new migraine medication Ajovy. And I notice I haven’t really been having a “appetite”? How do you all manage to still deal with not eating?

Side effects of Ocrevus

Hi, I'm due to have my first dose of Ocrevus tomorrow via sub cut injection, I'm a bit nervous about the side effects of the medication (I've read alot about it). I just wanted to know if anyone experienced any side effects or infections after having either the infusion or injection?

Has anyone been on Tecfidera? Is it any good? Any major side effects? How do you feel after taking? I’m all out of options thanks to insurance not wanting to pay for Ocrevus or Briumvi.
