Primary progressive treatment

I’m just diagnosed primary progressive, to get another MRI soon which I believe tells me if it’s active or not, my neurologist has mentioned Ocrevus, has anyone had any experience with this? I didn’t sound great when my neurologist told me about it

I was diagnosed with primary Progressive MS. I was prescribed Prednisone 50 MG. Take 24 tablets (1,200 mg). Take it one time daily for five days total. This is all new to me, if anyone can explain in detail please? Is this the first step, taking all theses pills for further treatment?

primary progressive anyone?

I recently got diagnosed with primary progressive MS. I know that any type is bad but when ever i talk to anyone about it they say "it's not that bad", "i have a friend with it"..... and it always turns out they have the remitting one. Does any one with the progressive kind, feel trapped? and doomed

So today I was told that I likely have Primary Progressive MS. Immediately I started doing research and I am just so bummed. I was really hoping this thing wouldn’t take too much from me but that doesn’t seem to be likely now.
