I don't qualify for Ocrevus either. What I believe is helping me is Low Level Light Therapy. I found a chiropractor who uses it on primarily MS patients.

Hi all, I’m looking for some inspiration - I think I need to change career to something that’s more suited to a slower pace of life and a bit less demanding (I’m a digital product manager - which is kind of like a project manager, quite fast paced and demanding).

Something I have really struggled with is my fitness whilst living with MS. I have created a group On FaceBook so I can share hints/ tips and videos. It would be great if you share/ join 👍 https://www.facebook.com/groups/279985380089987/?ref=share
