Balance/walking

Hi all Hope you're all doing as well as can be! I have been going through a relapse for a year now. It's done the rounds on me but has resulted in a considerable lack of balance when I'm walking meaning that I can't walk unaided. It's annoying because before this relapse it would have been hard to tell I had MS... My question is, does anyone have any top tips for quickly regaining balance/ability to walk unaided? I have a small daughter so exercising is difficult for me. I have been told about the ms gym etc but I'm looking for something that works quickly (if this exists!) Is there a drug? Specific exercise to do at home? Stretches? I've just started Ocrelizumab and am hopeful this may have some positive impact but who knows. Thank you all x

Ataxia can be caused by MS. This has a few effects such as balance and walking issues. There is a drug ampyra (the Walking drug you can try)

@watsoncraig thank you but unfortunately I can't get Ampyra in the UK :(
