I was diagnosed 16 years ago and had very few issues for the first 11 of those years. I have been told I was RRMS, SPMS and PPMS from several different Neuros. It seems no one can put a finger on exactly where to classify me. I was on Copaxone for years until recently when a foot drop finally progressed to where the decision was made that Copaxone was no longer working. The foot drop that worsens when I get fatigued and has been slowly getting worse over the last four years.
My neuro talked me into Ocrevus and my first dose had no immediate side effects. I am due for my 2nd dose in about 6 weeks but I am having 2nd thoughts. It seems that my foot drop has gotten significantly worse over the last three months after my first dose of Ocrevus. Rather than slow progression it seems like it is speeding up. The neuro says it typically takes a year for the medication to show it’s full efficacy but I worry that 12 months of declination in my foot drop will be more harmful than good in the long run.
Has anyone else noticed a decline in symptoms after taking Ocrevus?
