I hope all is going well. I love Ocrevus. Its the best DMT I have used since my diagnosis 16 years ago this month.

Done!! I slept all 6 hours except for 2 bathroom trips! Id stayed up late so Iā€™d be tired ( my mom drove me) and i had benedryl there so i had a restful time. I had a full bag of food and books and stuff that I didnā€™t use but Iā€™m glad i had with me. Not so bad. But ive been sleeping since i got home. Seems like a day wasted in that i missed a wedding and got no house stuff done. My daughter plays in a soccer tournament tomorrow and Sunday so I guess Iā€™ll see how i walk. Itā€™s supposed to be hot so Iā€™ll have to plan for that. Thank you so much for checking on and thinking of me!

Im glad it went well for you. I hope in the next few weeks you will see some benefits of sleeping all day! After your 2nd half dose is when you may start feeling better.(That is if you are getting your 1st dose in 2 sessions) At least that's when I noticed it was helping.

Yes my next half dose is in 2 weeks, april 9th. Thatā€™s good information that you noticed some improvement after your SECOND dose because Iā€™m not noticing too much yet after this first one. Except feeling more awake after all that sleeping!

The awake is the steroids they give you before the Ocrevus.

Give it time to work. It took a couple of weeks after my 2nd infusion be for i noticed any improvement. Things got better gradually from there. Remember everyone is different.

Thank you. I was wondering. I realize everyoneā€™s reaction is different. But itā€™s good to have at least an example of your experience

You have all helped me very much with my mental stability about this disease and treatments. I appreciate all of you. I love this forum!

Good luck tomorrow with your second half of ocrevus! šŸ˜Š

Thank you so much for remembering!! I had 2nd half today! It went well. Slept thru it again. Iā€™m expecting big things! But nothing yet. I still have MS.
