Hello,
Sorry that your present DMT is not working out. Treatment decisions in MS are so difficult.
My spouse has received her third infusion of Ocrevus. I don't believe Ocrevus is nearly as good as the medicine she was on, Tysabri. She has a great deal more fatigue and more MS symptoms... numbness in her right hand and arm, and stabbing pains in her eyes. The difference is profound.
Today, I have been comparing disability progression between Ocrevus and Tysabri. I'll put links below. To me, that is the gold standard for comparing meds. IMO, Tysabri is much superior in slowing disability progression.

Natalizumab (Tysabri) treatment shows low cumulative probabilities of confirmed disability worsening to EDSS milestones in the long-term setting

Best wishes! You have my prayers for finding the best med for you!
