Question 1

my ms treatment ocrevus kills off my cd20 positive b lymphocytes. im so worried about getting sick. i have a nagging flu symptoms for a week +?

Accepted Answer

Can be a cause  but!: There can also be other causes. It is best to discuss with your  physician.

This is a great drug and it can control your  MS but you need  guidance to take it safely. It is an immunosupressent  and infection can be a risk.

We used the same drug in studies  for Rheumatoid Arthritis and it did great but we  do not have  it availble for RA unfortunately

Question 2

i have developed flu symptoms and would like to know if its necessary to go for covid-19 testing?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Those in most need of testing are short of breath or have painful breathing on minor exertion as these are likely to need hospital care. For others it is a local/situational issue. How active is the virus in your community? Would you be at risk or exposure at a testing site ? I would  contact the local health department for guidance.
