Struggling with legs that fill like lead weights😢

Hi I’m on Ocrevus. My legs fill terrible. PPMS I have, is there anyone experiencing bad heavy legs. Think it’s causing my lower back hurt. Will any sort of exercise stop my legs being like this? Or is it just here to stay? Thanks any advice appreciated.

Just diagnosed!

Just waiting for my consultant date to come through. Just been told I have ‘mild’ MS! Glad I now know but need to know more information, why does everything takes so long? My symptoms are getting better so thinking I have remitting relapsing MS. Wonder if medication is still an option?

Decisions...next DMT choice, torn between Ocrevus and Mavenclad

I have recently come off Aubagio and just finished my 11 day flush out course to get it out of my system. A recent MRI in March showed further lesions, so my Neuro suggested I move onto another DMT. She proposed 3 different meds - Ocrevus, Fingolimod or Mavenclad. After reading up I don't like the ...
