So had my first dose today , went well no issue little tired but they said it could be the antihistamine ( or the fact I had no sleep last night worrying) .. but now I’m wide awake and just remembered they gave me a dose of steroids in beginning and that gives me insomnia .. just got back in to sleeping pattern as had relapse at start of year and did a week on them.. gggrrrr . Here we go again.

Holding on to the positives that no other side effects .

Thank you .. second dose on 19th . Can see lots of people have had good and bad experiences .

One thing I will say is make sure you get plenty of fluid . Notice a few people said they had really bad headaches so took 2 litres with me . I know the hospital would have had it but wanted to track what I drank and didn’t have an issue .

And I took healthy snacks with me ( trying to loose weight) so had banana oat waffles , cucumber and babybel cheese which I ate some ever hour, so maybe eating something small and healthy helped a bit .

Also glad I took something as they offers another lady a sandwich and it looked grim.

Will keep you updated .

Annabal, it's so good to hear that the first dose of ocrevus went off without a hitch! I agree the combination of the antihistamine which they always give me Benadryl which I hate because it makes me so sleepy and the lack of sleep the night before is bound to make you tired. Keep us posted of how it helps and what you see from the infusion. Glad you're on board with this DMT because I love it and I hope you do too! Fancy.

Annabal82 So happy that your infusion went well. Also, I happy that you mentioned about the importance of staying hydrated during the procedure. It might increase your urge to go to the bathroom, but it beats getting a nasty headache! :-D

I hope ocrevus makes you feel better with this awful disease. I am going to be starting it if my lab work is good. Take care

I'm so glad your first dose went well. Hydration is so important. I didn't hydrate well the first round and had a terrible headache for two days. The second round was much better. I hope Ocrevus does well for you. Take good care!
