Ok nurse just called, bloodwork is good for ocrevus, she can’t order it as the other neurologist has already done it apparently.

Yippee on bloodwork, but I foresee a problem with getting the ocrevus. Hind sight and all that. I’m so exhausted, think I won’t do the social thing for a while again. What is good to take to fight the fatigue and steroids aftermath

Boy can I relate to your post! 😜

Yes; as we all "continue on our journey with this MonSter" we sometimes remember why "it sucks the marrow from our lives without much regret."

But, we all have to "keep on keepin' on, right?" If there were any changes on my latest MRI (new neuro --as my original neuro retired 2018--he compared 3M Tesla MRI scans from August 1994 to August 2018, and there were NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES!

Yippee! So, Avonex hasn't failed me (24-year anniversary this September). So, needn't switch to Ocrevus. I am a HUGE NEEDLE WEENIE TOO but I still do the weekly IM injections as the "devil I know is safer to me than the devil I don't IMHO. And, who knew a Global Pandemic would surface less than two years later? Control is an illusion (I know it but. . .?).

Best of luck as you begin your Ocrevus journey!

Let them try to figure it out Sezlatham you might have to call the other neuro to release it maybe? IDK. But give them a call to help!☺️ 🤗💕🌠
