Starting Ocrevus & curious

Hey All! I am going to be starting Ocrevus soon and I am super nervous. I was on Tecfidera for a few years but as a new Nurse, the side effects were too much to deal with. Having infusions twice a year sounds like a dream but I am beyond nervous for the infusions and side effects. I had steroid infusions before and felt very unwell after, worried about how I will feel after the Ocrevus infusions. Any info would be greatly appreciated - thank you!

@jami, the amount of steroids infused as part of the Ocrevus Protocol bears no relevance to the amount infused over 3 - 5 days to combat a relapse. So one would hope that any side effects from steroids are minimal.

Ocrevus is a dream. The infusions take a while and I feel uneasy for a few days after but honestly it’s a complete 180 compared to how my sus proms were when I was on rebiff.
