I just had my first half dose of ocrevus Thursday and in two weeks I go for my second half before I go to Every 6 months. I didn't have any side effects and didn't feel any difference too much. But I'm going to give it a chance. Would love to know how others are doing with this drug.

I've been on Ocrevus since December 2017. I have had some minor improvements already. I little more energy, more regular bathroom visits and my walking speed seems to have increased. I was actually able to dance for a bit at a friend's wedding last month.......I am happy I changed from Copaxone.

I started Ocrevus in May 2017. So I have had 1yr of infusion and in May 2018 I will be going again. The only problem I had was with my first half dose infusion I started to itch really bad and the nurse turn it off for 10 minutes and turned it back on. Never had a problem again - thankfully. I have noticed one big chance - having PPMS when felling I would be on my stomach and need someone to lift me up.The last time this happened I could get up on my knees and crawl. I haven't been able to do this in years. So I think this is from Ocrevus. So in my opinion it's working for me. I usually don't fall this much but Doctor was trying to put me on a cholesterol pill and it was interfering with my MS meds. Hope this answers your ??

It's so funny I've had my second dose of ocrevus the loading doses. And I seem to be moving better and have a little more balance I don't know if it's in my head or the drug is working on me already. I don't go back for 6 months to get the first full-blown dosage. but I am happy with how I'm feeling:-)

I'm going for my second half dose of ocrevus this morning. I'm praying that all goes well I was on tysabri prior for about 8 years.

I am going on 4/19 to get my 2 6-month dose of this medication. So far I'm happy. I was worried to come off Tysabri. I changed due to frequency of infusions. I'm still in wheelchair,BUT that makes me more special...LOL.
