Ocrevus infusion

[Yooper]

Sitting in the chair getting my 4th infusion. 1yr in. Haven't felt any different but I also don't seem to be getting worse.

Have you had any follow up MRI s? My neurologist's hope for me is to not switch from rr to sp. I'm eight months in with no changes. I'm really hoping that the spasticity gets better.

My last MRI showed substantial enlargement of lesions. That's when I was switched from Copaxone to Ocrevus. Will get another MRI next year.

Thought you might have had one at the one year point for ocrevus. I was on copaxone for ten years. If ocrevus was around, I would have switched earlier. Tysabri scared me.

In the world of MS, not getting worse is terrific news! Hurrah!

If you have no more lesions, that would be the bomb! I just wonder for myself, if I don't do anything different like exercise should I expect anything different? I am trying ocrevus for the same reason, old med stopped working. Hope things are uphill for you

Thanks. I pray 🙏 it will help you. We need to stop it and hopefully improve our MS symptoms until they find a cure. Keeping our faith during the struggle is important. God's Peace.

I'm still waiting for an appointment to get my first infusion. I'm praying it will stop any progression & stop some of the spasticity. Also have been on copaxone for 10 years with a 2 year techfidera try. That's the one I wish would have worked, so easy to take a pill twice a day. Hope things are getting better for you!

I pray it works for you. It has not helped my spasms at all. I still take baclofen and diazepam for my spasms. I also use the Stick to help my tight hamstrings.
