Switching from Ocrevus to Kesimpta

Well I think that this has been the shortest time frame I have ever been on ANY! type of medication. I was diagnosed in March of this year with heart palpitations due to the medication. I gave it fair shot and I just can not deal with the anxiety attacks feeling, the off beat of my heart once in aw...

Ocrevus - your experiences

Hello! I was diagnosed in June 2018 and was on Tecfidera for 6 years before my Neuro advised I would require to come off the DMT as my lymphocytes were below 0.5 for longer than 6 months. I had to go ’cold turkey’ until my lymphocytes went back up to 0.8 which they just have, thankfully. They hav...

I was diagnosed 17 years ago. Started with Tecfidera then Ocrevus, and now Kesimpta. My question/frustration is as follows. What should i expect from my Dr.? He is a neurologist. I see him 1 time a year which follows an MRi. We meet for 10 minutes and he tells me the MEI showed “ no remarkable changes”. Appointment complete. I get nothing about me and my progressing disability. I feel like a data point and nothing else. Thoughts? Thanks
