PPMS

Hello all I apparently have PPMS I often feel alone reading posts and chat as most people talk about RRMS, feel quite alone sometimes, say hello if you have PPMS so we can talk about OUR MS and compare notes!

PPMS

Hello group, this is my first post. I was diagnosed with PPMS here in Greece almost 3 years. I just had my 4th Ocrevus dose. My walking is not that great and I’m tired a lot. Would love to hear advice from you. Thanks
