Thank you so much. Just started Ocrevus. My mother and brother both have MS too. I am a professional guitar player and I am 28. I was devastated and still upset about my diagnosis... but I am so thankful for this medicine. I just want to express my art and pray to God that this medicine will protect me.
Got a terrific MRI 6 months after my first treatment with Ocravus, noting "marked improvement" and "no longer enhancing" and "smaller on flair sequence". Thank you from Jerusalem for your part in developing this treatment!!
I was just diagnosed with MS in January earlier this year. I'm an active mom of 2 young children and have had such difficulty with the emotional impact that this news has brought to me and my family. Let alone the physical difficulty. My disease causes me to have numbness in my hands, feet, my whole leg at times, and the newest flare up was my left side of my face and head. I feel beyond fortunate that this drug is available to me & if ever diagnosed this is the time. I look forward to my appointment to discuss the drug is in 2 weeks and cannot wait to be done with these god awful injections every couple of days. I am currently taking copaxone. And I hope and pray this drug will stop the progression of this disease and limit my flare ups. Thank you Dr Hauser and his team, this drug seems like it's going to kick MS's A__!
Please keep your hope. My son was 3 and I was medically terminated from my nursing job in hospice as a result of my MS 9 years ago. I was devastated and would wake up in a panic at night not able to feel the sheets with my feet, afraid of falling, dizzy, numb, with nerve pain, etc. I was also on Copaxone for 6 years, and now have switched to Ocrevus and am so hopeful! We also have a 3-year old daughter now too, and I am able to keep up with her soooo much better at this age than when my son was 3! Just keep your hope for you and for your family!
I have been experiencing MS symptoms since 2013 and was diagnosed with RRMS in Nov 2015. I have taking different treatments, rituximab, azathiophrine and steroids helped me in 2016 and 2017 and i was totally a normal person again. But since the start of 2018, i have been experiencing all those symptoms again and they became severe with time. My symptoms included severe walking problem, numbness, tingling, burning in legs, balance issue, lost bladder control, my throat used to get dry all the time, was having tremors in hands and continous pulsating headaches and much more. For that i received 2 rituximab infusions in March 2018, but that didn't work at all. Then i had gone through 5 sessions of plasma exchange in Aug 2018, that also didn't work, then i was given beta interferon 1-b injections for 6 months i.e. from Nov 2018 to May 2019, that helped in bladder control but didn't help for walking and balance issues and also had a terrible side effect of stabing pain on abdomen and back area. After that my neurologist prescribed me orevus. I received 2 infusions of ocrevus in sept 2019 and will receive 2 infusion in feb 2020. Now my neurologist told me that as my symptoms are not improving from all the best treatments available for RRMS then its probably SPMS as my previous symptoms are progressing without any new lesions on MRI. Therefore they prescribed me Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) for my secondary progressive MS. So i'll go for it after ocrevus infusions. Will this treatment help me improve my walk and balance? Will it be a radical cure? Walking and balance issues are my first priority.
i have a problem with all language with writing and with concentrating that i can't concentrate for more than 2 or 3 m, i just want find out if i have this or what is my problem can you tell me how can i find out this and what i have to do ?

Immunobiology Book is always in that lab. It was an honor to work for the MS department in UCSF Neurology
Thank you, Dr. Hauser. I just started Ocrevus and am grateful for it.
