I was on Copaxone for 4 years and had a major flare - 3 new brain lesions in 5 months. My doctor and I discussed all options, including Tysabri. We decided on Ocrevus.
I had my flu shot about a month before my first 1/2 infusion. My doctor didn't recommend the shingles vaccine (I am only 48). I had no problems with either of my infusions, other than being tired after from the benadryl and the long day. I felt perfectly fine the day after both infusions. I haven't noticed any real changes in my symptoms, other than I think they are getting better, but that could just be my brain "rewiring" and the symptoms going away with time. I have had no fatigue (but that was never one of my symptoms).
I am very happy so far, for my decision to change. I wish you the best in whatever you decide. Always a hard decision.
