Hi everyone.
Has anybody else suffered with constant sore throat and bad phlegm after ocrevus? Had my first two doses and have been okay, but noticed just lately having a sore throat which comes and goes and a persistent layer of phlegm always stuck in my throat. Unsure if I’ve now developed hay fever or it’s just a side affect and wondered if anyone had anything similar? 
thanks

Could just be a cold?
I’ve not encountered anything similar, but I’m just one person.
I did think this at first, but it’s been going on for a month or two. Definitely feels like the beginning of a cold, but never actually develops into a cold 
Will be interesting to see if/how it develops as you approach the next infusion date. Perhaps the throat symptoms will change as the ocrelizumab dwindles? People speak of the “crap gap” where you feel worse as the dosage runs out then your system gets filled with the new dose.
Hi,
I sort of get that. I’m never sure if like get a snius infection more often.
The other thing if you still work or have young kids (call my Daughter ‘Patient 0’ lol).
I was advised once to even keep wearing a mask as it sorta deletes half your immune system = more infections and for much longer. I’ll admit to not always doing that but tend to for 1 to 1 physical meetings and asking if people have a cool or anything. Not ideal but only chance to slow it down and I’m very grateful to get it.

Hi Bramblek, I suffer with GORD, and have to say theres a slight improvement when I have ocrevus. Could it be allergies, or reflux as both of these can cause these types of symptoms. Have you spoken with the ms nurses regarding this issue?
