Ocrevus or Kesimpta? Which treatment should I choose for MS?

My daughter has had Ms since she was 19 years old. We have been on copaxone and many other MS medications. The best medication she's ever been on is what she's been on currently for the last 4 years it is without a doubt I vote for Ocrevus!!!! She has not had a new lesion since starting on Ocrevus!

How wonderful for your daughter!💝
Having read in a few posts about hair loss with Ocrevus, I am highly concerned since I've been dealing with hair loss off and on for over 15 years now. I don't use hair loss products, just diet and religiously not using products with known hair loss contributors...
So how long has your daughter been on Ocrevus? And in that time, any sign of hair loss at all?
Over the years, there have been times when I cry in the shower as hair comes out, no matter how gently I shampoo/rinse...It may sound vain, but it is traumatic and depressing to have gone from a LOT of hair to thinned out as it presently is and "patches"😳😢
What is the most troublesome side effect for her? (Nausea, loss of appetite, dizziness, etc.?)
How many months does the infused medication give her relief from MS symptoms?
Are infusions done at an infusion center or at home?
I'm thrilled to read that she has had NO new lesions since being on the medication.
It's my neurologist's top choice for me. Frankly, I am scared...
