Post Ocrevus infusion

Post Ocrevus infusion

I’ve been really tired. I have gone to sleep by 9:00 since I had the infusion done. However one of those days was because of the Benadryl given with the infusion. I went to physical therapy but I was fatigued easily. Plus my face has a lovely rosey red cheek blush that cane on as soon as I moved. My therapist decided at the 1/2 point that it was enough. It wasn’t my greatest appointment but I’m glad I made…

No Ocrevus infusion today

No Ocrevus infusion today

Shocking I know. This time there is a portion of my error involved. I told them last month my secondary insurance was Aetna, technically it is not. It is only secondary for certain things otherwise my secondary is Medicaid. What I’m not in error about is once again the infusion place waited until last minute to verify insurance. Since the information was wrong, they needed more notes from my doctors and couldn’t get approval done in time to order the…

Ocrevus infusion one week away

Ocrevus infusion one week away

Let’s see if I can have one of my infusion without any issues. I’ve already received the call to verify my new insurance information and have heard nothing since. Last time was the mistake where they once again order the split in the medicine and I did 300mg two weeks apart when I was supposed to take the full dosage of 600mg one time. So even though I’ve been on Ocrevus now for over a year, I still have yet…

Pictures of what makes me happy

Pictures of what makes me happy

I’m happy to say I’m all done with Ocrevus for six months. I just have to deal, of course, with the side effects from the steroids. I have to be honest too, these medicines and these infusions mess with my mood. I feel like I haven’t been my happy self in so long. I’m back to living in my four walls of a MS because I haven’t left my apartment. I’ve gone out for physical therapy and a couple errands…

Second half of Ocrevus infusion today

Second half of Ocrevus infusion today

I should be done. I should be done with the side effects from the steroids. I should be done with sitting there for 5+ hours. I should be done with the Benadryl. Yet I am not thanks to the infusion place ordering the wrong dosage amount last week. I once again have to go in today. I decided not to wait two weeks like when you first start Ocrevus because I just want to get it done. I once again…

No Ocrevus infusion again more insurance issues

No Ocrevus infusion again more insurance issues

I have no words. I’m so frustrated that the only thing I could do was cry. My insurance made some error and terminated me on one of their systems. I knew about this since last week and I had an escalated adjustment that was being done. I didn’t find out until yesterday they didn’t do it by accident when I called for something else. However the kicker is that the error that terminated me, terminated me in my authorization department….

Doctors, doctors and more doctors

Doctors, doctors and more doctors

I’ll start this with the doctor for my shoulder tendonitis. I went to see him yesterday. Still flying high from my amazing weekend at my spirit junkie master class, I think I even put the doctor in a good mood.  Being that my case is slightly different from other tendonitis cases, I can’t ever rest the arm because I use it with the walker, he was able to give me a Cortizone shot early. He was actually singing as he injected…
