Medication
Today it was decided I should switch from Tecfidera to Ocrevus, and start Aderol. I'm just wondering what others feel about Ocrevus. I'm also having surgery Feb. 18th and I'm super worried about the after effects with my MS.

Hi @crystal_michelle_martin and welcome. There's been a few previous posts about Ocrevus, although not a great deal as it's a fairly recent therapy. But, you can access these previous posts by selecting the "Ocrevus" tag that has been automatically added to the bottom of your post above. Surgery is always a worry and concern. You're probably worried about the actual surgery, as well as the effects on your MS. You need to put your trust in your medical team, they'll look after you. But, you need to stop increasing your levels of stress as your MS will play up. So, avoid a self-fulfilling prophecy. Good luck with it all.
I assume the surgery is necessary cos you don't have unnecessary surgery if you've got ms! I had a mastectomy 7 years ago and they didn't do reconstruction at the same time so I didn't have it. NHS changes within a year of my surgery and now you can have reconstruction at the same time. Oh well, I'll just to wear my prosthesis instead. But as the ex other half said at the time. You might have a fabulous pair of boobs but you might be in a wheelchair because if it. I am now in a wheelchair anyway, but I've only just gone into one 6 mths ago, so I've had 6/7 years on my feet so not complaining👏😜👂
