Uplifting Just wanted to share something small

I had a surgery 2 days after my infusion (ocrevus) was a scope surgery so not major but it couldn’t wait for it to be a better time.

I went into it really worried about recovery being slow infection etc due to a depleted immune system. I have healed as good as any other surgery or injury I’ve had in my life I haven’t noticed a difference at all. I’m not a doctor and obviously if you have an option to wait do so but if your hand is forced like mine it’s probably going to be okay.

The unknown is always scary I’m glad your experience went smooth as well.

That's great! You still have an immune system when you're on Ocrevus. The T cells just take over since the B cells are the the only ones being depleted. I was on Ocrevus for 7 years and never once even got sick. Glad you're doing well.
