Feeling positive

Hi everyone, I just wanted to share a win I had over the weekend.

I only told my immediate family and a couple of colleagues about my diag...

I've just had a good phone appointment with MS Nurse! Just wanted to share some hope in these trying times. There are many good people in the world (Despite the Trumps! 😏) Keep the faith MS-ers!

Feeling trapped but feeling positive

I was wondering if anyone else felt as trapped as i do in their own skin? I feel like I am a prisoner in my own skin most of the time and I was wondering if anyone had any advice. I mean I am positive about the things I can do and I love to learn new things so in that way I am never bored.

Ocrevus and JCV positive

Hi everyone 👋 I am due to start Ocrevus at the start of May. I am feeling positive about it apart from one thing - I am JCV positive and have a worry about PML. Is there anyone on Ocrevus who is also JCV positive? Need some reassurance! Thank you 😃
