Ocrevus
I am going to be starting
Ocrevus
in a couple of weeks. Too much generic information on it. Is it a type of chemo? How are you doing on it?

It can happen to anyone...
On top of that waiting for the ever-elusive
Ocrevus
seems to be taking longer than I realized. Between it all I've come to realize I let myself basically stop fighting and give up to some degree. Well I'm here to tell you now that ends here!

GOOD TO BE BACK
I asked about
Ocrevus
and he said that the one reported case of PML has been finally determined to be connected to the Tysabri that the patient had been on before switching to
Ocrevus
.

Waiting for Ocrevus Treatment to be approved for administering at Ochsner Hospital
I also have Sjogren's Syndrome, so my doctor and I agreed that
Ocrevus
would be the best treatment for both, as it targets the B cells.

After 30+ years...
Between this change in circumstance, my move into my new home next week and switching from Tysabri to
Ocrevus
in a few months, I think my plate is a little too full. Crazy, right? But...it all had to happen the way it did due to the situations outside of my control. Onward to new chapters!

Ocrevus - Tomorrow's the Day
Well, tomorrow morning (Thursday) I go in for my first infusion of
Ocrevus
. I am very nervous, but I think ready - this will be my first MS treatment. I'm diagnosed with PPMS, with about two dozen lesions on my brain and one on my spinal cord at C7.

Experience with First Round of Ocrevus
I got my first
Ocrevus
infusion yesterday. They started out by giving me oral doses of Tylenol and Benadryl. Then, I got the IV started (took 4 tries!), and they gave me some steroids to help prevent an infusion reaction. After 30 minutes, they started the

Curious about starting Ocrevus.
I was attracted to this site when someone had s Q&A with their MD about starting
Ocrevus
. I will be having this discussion in September and wondered about your experience. Gee I wish I had recorded a name!

Pule
I have my Neurologist telling me that he is going to put me on this medication,
Ocrevus
. I was told it will not heal anything, but at least I will not get any worse. I am just happy with that. I do not want to get so bad that I would need to be bed ridden.

Ocrevus Talk with Neuro
Then fill out the
Ocrevus
paperwork at my neuro followup appointment in August. He wants me to wait 12 weeks from the July Tysabri dose so I'm looking at a first dose of
Ocrevus
in Sept.

Ocrevus
Also, There is that other drug that
Ocrevus
is really an updated version of that drug that starts with an R. Sorry brain fog. I would rather get on that. It has a great success rate. Also seems to be much safer and has been on the market since the 90's. Has a success rate with PPMS also.

Genentech Reports PML Case with Ocrevus
This happened in a JC virus-positive patient who had stopped taking Tysabri in February after being on it for three years and switched to
Ocrevus
with a first dose given in April. Carry-over or not, it is something to think about before switching medications.

Shingles vaccine (Zostavax)?
She recommended I get Zostavax 2 mos. before considering
Ocrevus
or any of the other newer meds. Yrs. ago, my neuro recommended against Zostavax because it's a live attenuated vaccine. I believe NMSS or MSSA now say it's up to you and your doc.

Still waiting
I am still waiting for my insurance to approve
Ocrevus
. I have not had any txt since November. However, I am on natural herbs, taking PT and getting stronger everyday. I will have to wait for my next MRI to determine if my regiment is working. I live in Louisiana and it was 90 degrees today!!!
