I have been taking Ampyra, a specialized twice daily pill which helps protect the nerves in my legs, allowing me to continue to walk without any reaction to my infusions. I have continued taking it through three different infusions, Tysabri, Lemtrada, and now Ocrevus. The twice daily pill aids in my balance and gait, as well

Hello,
I am currently taking Beta interferons and participating in physical therapy 3x a week. I also try to get sufficient rest each day and eat organic to help my body recover.
However, I learned of the new drug Ocrevus, which was just recently approved by the FDA. Has anyone tried it? An recommendations.
According to the Mayo Clinic, it says it treats both the relapse-remitting and primary progressive forms of MS. Clinical trials showed it reduced relapse rate in relapsing disease and slowed worsening of disability in both forms of the disease.
