Ocrevus - Shielding.

Hello everyone, hope youre fairing well. Im having my second round of ocrevus (so first full dose not the half doses) on the 12th of August and have been told i have to shield for six weeks after. I understand why but ive been really careful for the whole outbreak and just as we get to a point where it may be easing we have to shield again. Does nothing for your mental health thats for sure! My partners is expected to be back in the office as his shielding finishes at the start of August... How is it sustainable, can we actually live together? Sorry I'll stop ranting now :) Im guessing the advice is different for different doctors and trusts so itd be interesting to see what advice other people have been given...

Hi, I had my second Ocrevus infusion 3 weeks ago and I was told by my MS nurse and my Neuro who I saw whilst having the treatment that I did not need to shield. I had my treatment in Sunderland.

If only the NHS could put out a consistent message. Then, maybe it may not cost as much.............
