Medicine info needed

[lcrosby3]

Hello. My name is Lori and happy I found this group. I have been on 2 different meds since my diagnosis in December, 2013. The first being Tecfidera. After finding a new lesion it was decided that Tecfidera was not working. Changed to Aubagio this past February. Side affects not agreeing with me. Does anyone in this group have any experience with or info on the new infusion drug Ocrevus? This is the route my Dr would like for me to try.

I have done the 2 1/2 doses, no issues feel great. Did 3 rounds of it's counterpart Rituxan no issues there either.

Great to hear. I'm scheduled for my 1st half in October with 2nd to follow. Not familiar with Rituxan. Thanks for the encouragement!

lcrosby3 I just started Ocrevus last week. The one side effect I have had is the fatigue (over and above regular MS lack of energy). The first 4-5 days were the worst and since then I am slowly coming back to a more productive energy level. Otherwise, no sickness, rashes, no other reactions. Good luck to you!

Thank you for your info. This fatigue thing is just not fun but your info lets me know it's a normal side affect and should pass. Good luck to you as well.
