Change in treatment after bad reaction?
Last month I had my first ever ms treatment, tysabri. I had a bad but not serious reaction mostly headache and a rash. There’s concern that my reaction would be worse if we continued tysabri so I didn’t go for the second infusion. The backup choice was Ocrevus. Has anyone else had a bad reaction straight away but found other treatments ok? I suppose I’m worried that my body is simply going to fight me getting treatment if you know what I mean.
@rocky - I've had 4 different treatments over the years. The Copaxone caused by far and away the worst reactions. So much so that if I hadn't moved onto Tecfidera I would have quit it. On the other hand; Ocrelizumab (Ocrevus) causes me no reactions whatsoever. I joke with the nurse that I am getting saline. I cycled home after my last infusion. not heroic, just no problems so why not?
@dominics I suppose I’m scared that my body will reject any treatment. First one and it’s a no. I know that each treatment is different but it was disheartening
