I am currently taking Beta interferons and participating in physical therapy 3x a week. I also try to get sufficient rest each day and eat organic to help my body recover.
However, I learned of the new drug Ocrevus, which was just recently approved by the FDA. Has anyone tried it? An recommendations.
According to the Mayo Clinic, it says it treats both the relapse-remitting and primary progressive forms of MS. Clinical trials showed it reduced relapse rate in relapsing disease and slowed worsening of disability in both forms of the disease.
Have you tried Ocrelizumab (Ocrevus)?https://www.carenity.us/forum/other-discussions/your-opinion-on-multiple-sclerosis-treatments/anyone-have-experience-with-new-drug-ocrevus-572021-08-03 05:04:25

Good advisor
After the third dose , I consulted with my neurologist and we pushed treatments to 5 1/2 months between treatments. It still keeps me without lesion activity or development.

Good morning, everyone. I have been on Ocrevus for three and a half years. I have not had problems losing my hair. I am fortunate. Have a great week.

This thread on Ocrevus got many responses. I would like to invite you all to use the new Carenity feature which allows you the opportunity to rate your treatment. You can leave your opinion on past or current medications. Acting similar to this thread, the tool allows people to look up drugs they are considering taking and see what experiences Carenity members have - does it help reduce symptoms, what are the side effects, how easy is it to administer, etc.
Help us grow our collective knowledge on medications to make the tool useful for everyone!
Take care,
Lizzi from the Carenity team
