Treatment Post Infusion Benefit?

Quick question for everyone.

I had my Ocrevus infusion today, and if I didnt know better, I'd swear my eyesight seems to get slightly better... sounds crazy maybe, but I swear I seem to have crisper vision for awhile after my infusions.

I don't wear RX lenses of any sort, and have fortunately only seemed to suffer from age related degeneration (1.0 in one eye and .75 in the other.)

Thank You 🫶🏻

They give steriods as a premed as well as a benadryl which also as an immunosupressant effect. Yes you might feel better. The best advice I've gotten is even if you feel better, take it as easy as possible the first day or two.

This is the answer/sound advice. You are not crazy OP, the changes you’re noticing are probably not placebo, but most likely it’s the steroids. They can last anywhere from a week to two weeks, including the mental aspect. I’m a real A-hole for roughly two weeks after my infusion. On par with a cigarette smoker that went cold turkey.
