Relapsing, Remitting

Temporary memory loss is common for me. I try to stay positive​. As a great post once said; Never admit to having an illness. Unfortunately the lack of admission only works when you feel good.

Relapsing-remitting

I was only recently diagnosed with MS and found to have this form, and must admit that I'm finding it hard to come to terms with. Does anyone know of any counselling support through the NHS that can help with this? e.g. MS nurses etc?

Siponimod (Mayzent).

Has anyone got any experience of this drug? My neurologist wants to switch from Ocrevus to this drug Mayzent as she thinks I have secondary progressive rather than relapsing remitting? Thanks Nathalie
