Hi,
I am due to start Ocervus for the first time ever in a few weeks times (kind of excited knowing that its about to start)
Normally I am a healthy person who does not catch colds and flu’s much but reading up on DMT’s and how they work my biggest worry is about catching something. (especially as my twin 9months will start nursery soon)
has anyone experienced any issues once they have started treatment with the Immune system ?
Its a bit catch 22, I need the treatment to help but also may effect the Immune system
Hi, I’m on Tecfidera with no issues at all. Been on Tec for 3.5 yrs and in that time have had no colds or flu at all that i can recall, nor lost anytime from work either. I’ve had Covid too but it was incredibly mild, not at all what i was expecting, thankfully. I am fully vaccinated though. I dare say it will depend on the DMT. Good luck.
@RetrovirusUK Thank you for sharing some feedback
I hope you continue to have no problems with the medication and its good to know that you have not bad any colds or flu related symptom’s
Hi
I’m having ocervus and have found no difference to my immune system to combat viruses etc. No increase in catching anything or increase of severity if you do.
@dwh thank you for your last post
my biggest worry is changes to my Immune system but its always good to hear views from others.
Whilst I am here can i ask a quick question. As you are on Ocervus do you normally feel weak or tired on the day or day after when you have your treatment?
Hi
I feel tired ,but couldn’t say for sure its the treatment. Infusion day is a very early start and drive to the hospital, other than that havn’t noticed any difference to my normal tiredness level.
