thank you very informative

Several active members here are considered to have SPMS, and who are using Ocrevus with good results. I hope many of them chime in with their experiences.

I’ve been on Ocrevus for about a year and l haven’t had any problems with it. Only drawback is the time it takes to get the IV. I do have SPMS and it’s working for me.

How is it working for you? What pros and cons?

[erash]

Not sure if I have spms or Ppms , I’ve been told both. I have had great results with ocrevus

[TonyiaR7 in reply to erash]

What great results have you experienced?

[erash in reply to TonyiaR7]

Improved gait, balance, energy

Thank you, after my knee heals from total knee replacement. My neurologist urges me to start Ocrevus. I am SPMS. All these changes. My goodness.

yes I have SPMS and r on Ocrevus.I have had 4 treatments,and do not have any new lesions!I don't think I progessed any further but dr did tell me,"it is usually people with ppms that regain some function that they lost.but not to count on regaining any lost function,but miracles happen everday"the best of luck to you,I still plan to stay the course

I have no new lesions with glatimer acetate or Copaxone . But my neurologist urges me to take Ocrevus wheb my knee heals. Right now my muscle spasms are driving me crazy especially when out weather has become colder. But erash says her gait, balance, improved. If it could take away my muscle skeleton problems I would be thrilled .

absolutely!
