My First Ocrevus Dose

So, I just finished my first Ocrevus dose 2 days ago.

The first one was a living hell, got some allergic reactions, felt like a truck ran over me, it was a mess... But it all got better on the 2nd one.

Today I'm at work and can't focus, plus I feel as if a truck ran over me multiple times... Anybody is going through something similar? looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you! apparently this is normal while I adapt... Although it's not the norm, it can happen among some people... (Me, of course!). Thanks a lot for your warm reply.

I get allergic reactions, mainly hives, to many meds. Knowing this, they give me both h1 and h2 antihistamines, by Iv prior to my ocrevus injections.

Having had allergies my whole life, I know that they make me extremely tired while I'm trying to fight something off. I bet you'll be feeling fine in a few days! Here's to hope with O!

So sorry u r having this effect. Hopefully will improve soon. I had some itching and chest tightness during the 1st infusion, so the doubled the Benadryl for the 2nd and other than sleepier, it went fine.

It seems that everyone using Ocrevus (and all of us with MS!) require a lot of patience. I hope you see improvements quickly and can tolerate the infusions well.

And welcome to our little family!

No such symptoms for me, It only made me sleepy and that was due to Benadryl. I hope that it all goes away for you as the long term effect, Ocrevus has been wonderful (for me).

Not what you're looking for?
