Hi..I was diagnosed 30 yrs ago and I’m lucky I’ve done well til a couple of yrs ago. Now it seems a steady, slow decline. Been on interferons for years, then Gilenya since last June. Having my first dose of Ocrevus on April 5....had to stop Gilenya for 4 weeks before getting first dose. Within 4 days of stopping, my symptoms were noticeably much worse. Had 3 days steroid infusion this past week but it really only helped for a couple of days, now symptoms are worse again. Has anyone else experienced this? I was told by infusion nurse that meds linger in your system for a while so Gilenya should still be active but obviously I’m not quite believing that theory. Coincidence that quick downward slide is happening just at the time I’m without meds?? Have I really hurt myself by stopping one to start another?
Thanks for any opinions....
