Tamcolem Been on a lot of DMT's , interferon,copaxone,gilenya,ocrevus , the nurse just mentioned if I would like to have injections instead of infusion ,(I have been on ocrevus infusions for the last 2 years) ,just seeing what others think.
Thank you for your thoughts Tamcolem , I am thinking much the same . I am OK on the infusion so why change ... And NEVER again do I want to be on needles, I hated that, everyday on interferon, ahh traumatised me
Great question! Both options deliver the same active ingredient (ocrelizumab) and are given twice a year, but they differ in how they're administered. Here's a quick breakdown:
Ocrevus (IV Infusion)
- Given at a specialized infusion center
- Takes at least 2 hours per visit
- Delivered directly into a vein

@A MyMSTeam Member me too plus I found out that I was having smoldering lesions that didn't show up on the MRI anyway and was doing additional damage. I already have 2 black holes in my brain that will never heal. Why go for more.
@A MyMSTeam Member personally I am sticking with the infusion. I have to take them slow because I still get a few side effects-such as red in the face and itching but it beats being a pin cushion all the time and creating muscle atrophy from the injections. I've also used the pills Tecfidera and had such stomach issues that for a short time I went back to Rebif. Now being on Ocrevus feels like a life saver.
