This Drug has just been made available in New Zealand. What are the benefits for Ocrevus? I am currently on Glenya and whilst I have had no more lesions in my brain, I am tired all the time, have has swelling in my right ankle and to be honest I don't feel as well on Glenya as I was 18 months ago.

I’m meeting with my neurologist on the 26th of December to get some questions answered about Ocrevus. I’ll let you know what I find out. I don’t know anyone who’s on it.

Howdy fellow Nzer,I'm on gilenya and have been considering ocrevus but decided I will make the swap when the gilenya isn't working anymore. My doc in chch did give the option as percentage wise it is rated better. Let me know how you get on.

I was on Gylenia and it seemed to stop working for me. I had been on harder drugs before (Rebif) so Gylenia felt pretty good to me. Now on Rituxunab infusions (similar to Ocrevus). Did fine the first three infusions, but had a bad reaction this last time. The reaction started with a three-day headache, diarrhea (oh joy), and a really bad illness reaction for a weak after the infusion. I just felt really ill.

All the things we put into our bodies can have adverse reactions. I have always had to try things and see how they work for me.
