Regarding Ocrevus

I'm not sure how long I've been on it. Years, though, that's for sure. I have got to get better at taking notes. Anyways, I just was wondering what people on it experiences. I don't know. I just want to blame all the mental declines on something fixable and Not just SPMS, deal with it til you perish...

Have you ever sacked your MS team, and can you?

Hello, This is my first time here, although I was diagnosed with MS in 2016. I have rarely seen my neurologist - just twice in 7 years - and I have lost faith in their ability to help. I feel that my relationship is so poor with the MS team that I am thinking about leaving their care, such as it i...

Female MSers: TOTM?

I experience the worst of all my symptoms the week leading up to my visit from aunt flo as well as for the duration. It's gotten so bad that if it's an irregularly timed period, I call my nuero in tears. Can I hear your experience?

Dipping my Toe in...

Thinking of sticking my toe into the dating scene again. I belong to a few MS groups on facebook and some have a zoom weekly video chat. A few of my friends have paired up and some dated outside of MS and two of my friends even got married both have MS. So it's making me think if I should take a cha...

When you ask a simple question about MS and get an epic “I"

“Oh wow, that sounds rough! I don’t have MS myself, but I’ve had my fair share of weird sensations and health freak-outs, so I totally get where you’re coming from. It all started for me about two years ago, after a particularly stressful period at work — I was managing a huge project and pulling wa...

Multiple sclerosis disease activity test

Does anyone have any experience with the octave MSDA test? My Mayo Clinic doctor is recommending it.

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.

I have what can only be called excruciating pain in my shoulder bicep and forearm that just comes on suddenly with no notice and I lose use of my right arm, my dominant hand and I am an artist. Anyone experience this perhaps it isn't a MS?. Your thoughts please I feel rather desperate
