I DID IT!

I did my first half dose of ocrevus today. Only had some chest pressure as they went to a faster drip. I have been fighting so long for ocrevus I was not going to stop. Had 50 mgs of benadryl and steroids and a valium to stop me from freaking out. Benadryl. that made me tired and super dizzy but nothing else. Hoping 2nd one goes as well too. Thanks for all the words of encouragement.

Keep us posted as you continue this treatment. I'm glad it went well. This is what my doctor is wanting me to go on so I'm all ears....finally....about this medication. I used to take Benadryl for one of the other DMTs I was one...can't remember which...but I loved the Benadryl! Valium, on the other hand, doesn't do diddly for me. My body is so weird.
