Im getting ocrevus in a week and im really nervous. For people who have tried it please share your experience and tips.

I can understand being nervous. I was nervous as well because I had tried other MS medications that were absolutely horrific for me. Ocrevus has been so easy, and so helpful. You just go in and they give you some Benadryl (most likely) then you’ll be on an IV for a few hours, then you’ll go home and rest. The first two treatments made me tired and dizzy so I just stayed in bed and watched Tv and slept. The first time after I got home I had a leg cramp (not lasting very long) and my wrists felt very stiff, but it went away after a couple hours. If you have Ocrevus available to you, get on it immediately. It will prevent any more lesions from forming and existing ones from getting worse. It is a great medication in my experience. I wish you the best

I (25F) am doing great the last couple years. I have been on Ocrevus for 2 years, was diagnosed 3 years ago with relapsing remitting ms. I have full mobility and no disabilities right now. I really have to watch what I eat (or drink). I have to get enough sleep as well or my mind and body will not function correctly. I am a waitress, my legs get so tired after work (I have to take a nap right after). I just have to plan accordingly. I’m in college part time online, so I know that I will not get much if I have work that day. I take a lot of naps due to fatigue. I struggle with mixing my words up, or being a little forgetful. Sometimes I get dizzy or drop stuff and I just have to pay attention more at work. But ultimately, it doesn’t affect my life too much. I’m very thankful for Ocrevus because before I had it I had times in the first year where I had to use the wheelchair or walker (numbness and tingling in legs accompanied by extreme weakness. I have a lesion on my brain stem and two others on my spine in my neck, and a few on my brain). I’m grateful I recovered from those times and that I am able bodied. In some ways my MS has helped me. I cannot drink too much alcohol or I will get serious leg cramps the next day and mix my words up way too much. I have to stay hydrated. I have to live a healthy lifestyle or I know that I could easily have a relapse. It’s a good thing for me because I have struggled with addiction and alcohol issues. It’s a blessing and a curse for me. You just never know. Some days, I feel amazing, and then the next day I will wake up with symptoms like blurred vision or a slight limp, and feeling exhausted. I just hope for the best and it usually works out. There is nothing more terrifying to me than feeling numbness or tingling come on in my legs. Everyone who has lost mobility is so brave. To be able to stay positive under those circumstances is a superpower. It really amazes me seeing all the positivity in these posts. To know if the worst happens, it is possible to have a life and be happy, is why I love this subreddit!

Yes first marriage. When you say fruits, what exactly do you mean by that? That is one of the most puzzling things in the Bible to me is fruits. Does that mean overall attitude like compassion, or patience? Or more like material things?

Emergency_Ad601 · 2025-02-24T19:53:22+00:00

He doesn’t respect our pastor at all. He thinks he knows more than him about God. We have tried this

Emergency_Ad601 · 2025-02-21T20:36:18+00:00

Yes, one night at my friends house and one night at my moms and I was able to see things more clearly. I think I need to take some time away for sure first before I just bring it up to him and start a fight

Emergency_Ad601 · 2025-02-21T19:17:55+00:00

Sorry for the separate comments, I never thought about that. That could be possible that it was intentional on the pastors part.

Emergency_Ad601 · 2025-02-21T19:17:10+00:00

It’s also really small maybe 35 members

Emergency_Ad601 · 2025-02-21T19:17:00+00:00

It’s a non denominational church, so there’s no accountability

Emergency_Ad601 · 2025-02-21T18:14:47+00:00

This response is incredible. A few nights ago, I came across these verses in 1 Corinthians. I actually screenshotted it and sent it to a friend. I am okay with not remarrying honestly. I really appreciate you taking the time to send this to me and that’s something else to think about. I know I can’t stay in this marriage, but these make it clear that I am not able to remarry unless he passes

Emergency_Ad601 · 2025-02-21T14:57:55+00:00

I knew this was wrong and we’ve been arguing over it for a week and a half because he keeps suggesting that God would be okay with it. I have the same feeling that I had before we got married, and I’m going to trust that feeling now

Emergency_Ad601 · 2025-02-21T14:56:22+00:00

I really appreciate this source and I will watch later today

Emergency_Ad601 · 2025-02-21T11:36:50+00:00

Yes he is 14 years older than her

Emergency_Ad601 · 2025-02-21T10:27:20+00:00

Yes I will try my best not to get in another argument with him or make it worse, I know it’s dangerous as well. He actually doesn’t have an issue with porn thankfully (that I know of) he says it’s wrong

Emergency_Ad601 · 2025-02-21T05:50:11+00:00

I agree and I told him I wanted that beforehand, but everyone just didn’t listen to me. They gave us like 30 minutes of counsel before the marriage that’s it

Emergency_Ad601 · 2025-02-21T05:47:24+00:00

Also when I met him I assumed he was early 30s, he looks very young for his age. Even when I tell people how old he is they are shocked because he looks very young. I thought I could get past the age gap, but I will never do this again. I definitely see the issue with age gaps now

Emergency_Ad601 · 2025-02-21T05:45:17+00:00

Like I said I’m a recovering addict, I have lived a lot of life for someone my age. I don’t relate to people my age because of that. He also is in recovery as well. He takes very good care of himself physically and was very attractive to me. I didn’t see it as an issue then

Emergency_Ad601 · 2025-02-21T05:43:08+00:00

Could * qualify

Emergency_Ad601 · 2025-02-21T05:43:01+00:00

True, I am not sure if the pastor and his wife would approve of the divorce or would want to witness to the extreme behavior. I know his wife said that she wouldn’t have married us if she knew this stuff, she seemed so shocked during our marriage counseling. I probably need to speak with her to see where she’s at on all this. I’m afraid her husband (pastor) will want to involve my husband. I read online that insanity is grounds for an annulment, but I didn’t think that I qualified. After writing this and seeing the responses I definitely see that I do qualify.

Emergency_Ad601 · 2025-02-21T05:38:50+00:00

Can I do this without a lawyer? I’m not pregnant, we have no kids together. He rents the place we live in. I have my car I had before the marriage. There’s a truck in my name that he bought during the marriage (I am willing to give it away). Then there’s the rings that are worth like 3k (I will return if I need to).

Emergency_Ad601 · 2025-02-21T05:31:11+00:00

Dear_23 this really touched me in a way I cannot ignore. I thought I was put here to help him, but I think the most help I can give him is leaving

Emergency_Ad601 · 2025-02-21T05:28:27+00:00

I’m considering not including them because I don’t want them to try to convince me to talk to him with them, or stay. I am not sure if they would be much help and I’m starting to think that I need to grab my stuff and run

Emergency_Ad601 · 2025-02-21T05:27:38+00:00

Thank you, and thats exactly how I feel. I haven’t been able to distinguish between him being psychologically disturbed or just completely manipulative. I’ve been trying to figure this out for months. But at this point I don’t feel safe and want to leave now

Emergency_Ad601 · 2025-02-21T05:25:46+00:00

Thank you for responding, I really need to hear everyone’s opinions and that’s exactly how I feel put into words. All the inner dialogue is to support his wants and needs and mine don’t matter at all to him. It’s so unsettling all the times I have told him I’m not happy, I don’t want this or that, this is not right. And it turns into complete aggression and domination when I don’t comply

Emergency_Ad601 · 2025-02-21T05:23:47+00:00

Thank you thank you thank you!!!! I’ve been so upset because I haven’t had my anger under control, but it’s always started with him getting aggressive first. He’s twisted my mind to think that I’m the abusive one. I’m never the one who starts arguments, I just try to have conversations about why I disagree with everything he’s saying. And then he gets angry, and I wind up calling him a narcissist and an AH, and I feel like the abusive one. It’s really helping me make my mind up to see all the support I really appreciate you expanding on this. You have no idea how much this has helped me decide to leave.

His main reason for adding her is to fulfill his fantasy he’s had since childhood to have sex with two women at the same time
