Hello,

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.

I tried it. I’m on it and I really love it. It’s easy. It’s takes about six hours. Every six months no side effects so far that I know of the first time I tried. It was 2 1/2 years ago and then my insurance wouldn’t pay for any of it and I’m on Medicare so how to do it without for two years then I found a place that helps me by paying for part of it so that the insurance would cover the rest so six months ago I took it felt OK but I took the second dose and I feel much better. I’m even starting to walk a little better. I don’t know if it’s in my head if it’s really happening whatever it is I’m happy for it. I really enjoy it. I’m the first week or two. I think after I took it it’s been about a month. I was like so happy. I felt so good. I mean I felt like I could run around the block I didn’t, but I felt like it, but I could actually get up and clean. I had some kind of energy when I had none beforehand so it was really a great thing to have happen and trust me. I’m gonna stay on it. See how it goes so two in a row makes for good.
