Ocrevus year one update. A stable MRI and one of my spinal lesions regressed. I still take lots of vitamins/minerals. Everything is good but high cholesterol. Some more exercise and it will be OK.

Take care all.

Very promising.

I'm done with injections. Five years of Rebif is enough

Lipoic acid seems promising. I just want to see some phase 3 studies.

Thank you NHE.

I got my first Ocrevus infusion today. It was reaction-free. I feel a little bit dizzy after 5 hours. The second half-dose is 15 days later. I want my NEDA back. Let's play the game again

I have a new silent C6 spine lesion one millimeter in diameter. Since it is a spinal lesion, I will not risk anything and change my DMT to a stronger one. Mavenclad or Ocrevus if my doctors give the green light. Another NEDA journey will start soon :) Don't forget your MRI and other checks. As you s...

Did you try Vitamin B12 and other Bs lately? Any tests?

Time to share my experience after 2 months.

My body hair is weaker and falls much more. Surprisingly my hair is all OK for now. I take 15 mg of zinc picolinate and 5000 mcg of biotin every day.

Not any side effects after the first 10 days. Diarrhea, fatigue, maybe some neuropathy.
