I got it the 2 hour infusion with ocrevus!

[pamgarner]

I was the first person at the infusion center that had ever ask for it,i read about it 6 weeks ago. I called my dr. yesterday and ask him about it and he has to send orders to the infusioin center to get it.it does take 2 hours instead of 3 or 4.it was wonderful .it was 300 drips per minute instead of 35.you still get steroids first and benedryl

Sounds good but no increased site reaction?

[pamgarner in reply to Hidden]

not for me,couldn't tell any difference,like I said dr must send prescription first an tell them when you get there.medical science is wonderful

Great day! I’m all in if there are no additional reactions. Really I haven’t had any reactions other than the time I didn’t have the “pre meds”. They had left them off of the orders because good ole insurance was willing to spend the $40k but not the $300. Felt like I was going to die for 4 solid days.That one won’t happen again for sure. Keep us up to speed w/how you fare w/the rapid infusion. I’m very interested! Thanks for sharing pamgarner.

Glad it went well! I'm going to ask for the shorter infusion for my next one in April. I'd like to forego the premeds too but I won't press my luck. If I do well with the shorter time then I will ask for no premeds.

[pamgarner]

yes i would do 1 at a time,if you had a problem you wouldn't know which one

[twooldcrows]

I will be asking for the same in the future. I hope my Dr is open to it.

[pamgarner in reply to JTZES]
