Good advisor
I am taking Copaxone. I had also taken rituximab for RMS.
I have minimal side effects from the treatment... lots of fatigue and shortness of breath. But the doctor says it is working in slowing the progression. So I am hopeful it continues to do so.

I am also on Copaxone and have not had shortness of breath as a side effect but definitely fatigue. I'm hopeful for the same@msslady

Has anyone taken Ocrevus or Gilenya? I am currently on Tysabri but I tested positive for the JC Virus so I have to switch meds.

@Cgonlag I do take ocrevus and it does work. but it tends to wear off at the end of 6 months. Plus when u start it fatigue is a side affect. Just makes most people sleepy

I'm currently taking Ocrevus, but I've had difficulty walking for a year now. What helps with that?

I am an MS fighter of 30 years now. I have been on:
Copaxone - did fine, hated the injections
Once oral meds became available, I jumped on that opportunity
Tecfidera - had a severe allergic reaction. My face swelled up - I looked like Will Smith in the movie Hitch
Aubagio - I have been on Aubagio for about 5 years now. I love it. MRI's are showing no new lesions and RRMS has been stable.

I've had difficulty walking for a year now. I was diagnosed 2 years ago, and a pretty good, and established pool player. I'd just like to walk better again. Suggestions?

@DCircular I have a friend from my MS group who takes Ampyra which I think is meant for walking. I'll have to ask her more about it. I don't have any experience with it myself but maybe you can ask your doctor about if it'd be a good option for you?

I've taken Ampyra for some time. It initially helped me with balance, but nothing more. Walking is still a difficulty.
