I have only taken it once thus far but am happy to say that I only experienced fatigue and 2 dizzy spells. Otherwise, I feel more energy and just BETTER than before.

I've only done my first infusion in July. I haven't had any noticeable side effects so far. I do my next infusion in January. Something is helping. I've also started taking the cbd oil. And it's seem to be helping some also. So I'll hopefully know more with this next infusion since I've just had the one. I put my cane aside just because I want to try and go without it. So far so good. Still get some balance issues but nothing like I was. How this helps somebody. Have a nice day everybody

Hello,

I am not currently taking any medications as I haven't been diagnosed . It is possible MS but linked to chemical poisoning on the job.
I just saw a new Doctor last week in Springfield Oregon named David Clarke. He was going to try it but I have Multiple Myeloma Bone Cancer also. He told me that even if I do get diagnosed their is nothing they can do for treatment. All of the MS drugs are immune suppressants and would cause my cancer to take off.

Thanks for asking an I hope this helps in some way!

My next infusion is in December (I've only had the starter infusions so far) - and no side effects to attribute to Ocrevus.
Can't say as I've seen any positive effects yet either.

Hello! Im also taking Ocrevus but I haven’t really had many side effects. However i do know that some side effects can be having an cold, flu, fever, throat ache. What side effects are you having? And how many times have you had the infusion?
