Glad to hear Ocrecus is working for you! My wife was diagnosed last year and has been on Tysabri for about 6 months. So far, so good. Having to go in for a monthly infusion isn’t something she loves, but zero side effects as of yet. Thankfully it’s a 1 hour infusion not 8.

Very glad to hear, both Tysabri and Ocrevus tend to have extremely good outlooks from what I've heard from neurologists. I originally received it before it was commonly perscribed and the assumption then was that it would slow disease progression by 50%, for many like myself it has been essentially a complete halt on progression for nearly 10 years.

I was on Tysabri for a while and I always felt the infusion time was a bit calming. Forced me to step out of life and relax a little bit.
