I find it quite interesting how Ocrevus seems to affect everyone differently. I hope that you continue to improve, blessings Jimeka 🦋

So awesome to hear! I am trying to decide on a treatment as I type. If you do not mind me asking; what type of MS do you have? Again, awesome news!

Blessings!

Thank you. I have been diagnosed with PPMS. I walk with a walker most of the time and can walk with a cane bc I am getting stronger and standing for longer periods of time. I was on Tecifidera when I got diagnosed in 2014. In March 2016, I started Tysabri. I was afraid of PML. I had my last Tysabri infusion in Oct. 2017. I did not have any DMT in 2017. However, I did a Nutritional Ketogenic diet, stem cell therapy, and Mannatech Supplements. I felt awesome. I did this in addition to PT, and acupuncture. I have seen 3 MS specialists and 2 neurologists and still do not feel neither of them are the rt one for me. I do not want to be a guinea pig and I am tired being comparing to other patients. We are all different. I had a MRI in Feb and it was negative for active lesions on brain and spinal cord. I started Copaxone in March and had a MRI on the 10th of this month and it came back positive for an active lesion on my brain. My primary physician wants me 2 begin Tysabri again. He thinks it is a stronger medicine than Ocrevus. Do any of you have any experience with both of these drugs? Tysabri did not affect me in a negative way; I was just afraid of PML. However, i always tested negative for JCV. Again, thanks for responding.

Continued blessings!

I ve been on Avonex, Copaxene. Gylenia, Tysabri and now Ocrevus. I don’t know, the best I felt was when I was given IV steroids. This is second. I suppose different things for different people. I was a little nervous with all of them but my quality of life has deteriorated so much I pretty much figured if one works it’s way better even if for a short time

Great to hear that. I just had my second one and if I didn't know better I'd say I was in a study and got the placebo. I'm no better not no worse. I guess, maybe it is too early to tell. My sext one is in April, Sure hope and pry it works. Happy holidays to all.
