The Next Step In My Battle Against MS...One Warrior's Tale
Well, the latest news on my neurologist appointment today. The good news is that my brain MRI shows no changes from last year. My c-spine and t-spine MRI's show no lesions and a remarkably good spine for my age.
I asked if there are no changes on MRI, why are my symptoms worsening? My doctor explained that we have tried 4 different medications in the last year. All 4 were stopped due to allergic or severe adverse reactions. So essentially, I have it is like I have been without treatment. He decided that we need to try Ocrevus. I know all the good results people have been having with Ocrevus. I am aware about the small percentage of bad things associated with Ocrevus. I am a bit weary of it because it is still so new. I have total faith in my neuro. This is like the "Hail Mary" for me...it's the last drug to try. Here's to hoping that I tolerate Ocrevus.
