@I’ve recently been diagnosed with PPMS, and I’m trying to decide whether it’s worth pursuing Ocrevus treatment.In the UK, it seems that Ocrevus is generally offered only if your PPMS is considered active. In my case, they haven’t been able to confirm whether my MS is active or not. That’s left me in a bit of a grey area.I’m really concerned about waiting too long—if there is activity, I may miss the window where Ocrevus could help slow progression.Has anyone else here been in a similar situation? Did you pursue Ocrevus without confirmed activity? Any thoughts or experiences would really help.Thanks in advance. on Shift.ms

if there’s anyway, you can get your doctors to put you on they think of Gravis is the number one therapy on the market for multiple sclerosis. You should start it sooner than later. A lot of doctors here in America choose ocrevus because they want to hit the disease head on and stop progression from the beginning versus stopping progression once all the damage has already happened if that makes sense. It makes total sense to me. If you can find a doctor to keep you on stay on it

@Tiffcorpus thanks so much. Makes sense. What is Gravis?
