I have successfully been on Tysabri for just over 10 years. My fairly new neurologist is recommending that I change now to Ocrevus. My latest MRI looks good, he says. My JC Virus numbers range these last 10 years as low as .19 and as high as .33, like a rollercoaster. I drive about an hour one way into the clinic for my infusion. I think he might be pushing for the change maybe because of the convenience of less visits for the IVs or either attempting to get all his patents on board for the same treatment--Ocrevus. I have read good things about Ocrevus, but I am happy and feel as good as can be with MS on Tysabri. Why change a good thing? I got that reply from my last neuro when I questioned him about changing treatments.
My neuro brought this up in July. My follow-up is in October. If he thought I needed to change or there was a problem, should he have not sped this up a bit more, the potential change? At this point, I am thinking about cancelling my appointment.
