Hello,

[Becky63]

This is my first post but I've been enjoyed reading all posts! Everyone is so thoughtful and supportive. It's very refreshing and feels safe!

I was diagnosed in 2010- never really given which type of MS although I think they categorized it as RRMS in order to have access to all treatments. However, I have PPMS. I've been on Copaxone but today will be my first infusion of Ocrevus. Wish me luck😳 Just a little nervous but excited too. When hope is involved you can't help but be excited for better results 😊 I'll keep you all posted. Take care new friends, Becky

1st infusion of Ocrevus finished with no problems! It took 5.5 hours total with sleepiness due to the Benadryl. I did notice my throat a little scratchy but nurse said it was probably due to Solu-Medrol. I do have a little headache but I'm going to think positive thoughts that it's the meds doing the job. No pain No gain??? Excited about not having to give myself shots 3x a week. And my body thanks me too! 2 weeks for the next 1/2!!! Hope everyone has a great 4th of July 🇺🇸🎆🎇
