I was diagnosed in late Sept. of 2019. Started with my eyes. Was put out on disability. Have trouble walking. Pain in my back, a lot of depression and anxiety. Very tired all the time. Go to PT and OT also go to talk to a therapist. Started Ocrevus infusion in February.

Missy57, we can't thank you enough for sharing your story with us. The community here really gets this, and hears the symptoms both physical and emotional, that you struggle with! I hope that you find going to a PT, OT and a talk therapist is so helpful to you! How has the Ocrevus been for you? Again, I hope it's been beneficial....AND did you ever get that sleep you needed? P.S. (my symptoms also began with my eyes.) xxxx's Janus

Missy57, Glad you have PT and OT and hopefully the talk therapist has been able to address and treat your depression. Please let us know how your Ocrevus infusions are going. I hope that they will slow your progression and alleviate some of your symptoms. I have SPMS and hope for a DMT that can halt my MS progression. ( My MS is considered non-active) Take care of yourself, Lisa

 Lisasnyc, I just want to thank you for being such an active and encouraging member of the community! Also, VERY glad to hear that the ms is considered non active! Just curious...you mentioned hopefully finding a dmt that could halt the progression, does your doctor have any recommendations for you? Thanks so much again, wishing you a great day! Janus

 Janus, Thank you for the gracious comment. Belonging to <a href='https://MS.net' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer ugc'>MS.net</a> is very encouraging. It so nice to know that for every surprise MS gives me, there are a multitude of people with same experience- although we may feel them differently ! I just transitioned to SPMS earlier this year. My walking was getting more challenging, so my neuro suggested an MRI to see what my MS is doing. My MS has been “stable” for the last 2 MRI’s. She suggested changing my DMT to one of the newer products but wants to view the MRI first. Thanks again Janus. And everyone, try to be safe and take good care, Lisa
