[erash in reply to jimeka]

Really? What is the news?

[greaterexp]

Where did you read that? I only find posts about it being shot down by the NHS. I hope it's true, however!

Multiple Sclerosis New Today. Can you post? My phone broke, so I can't post till this evening.

Ok rrms but not ppms

[greaterexp in reply to erash]

Thank you for finding that. I'm having trouble with my healthunlocked and am no longer receiving emails from them.

Even though Ocrevus has been approved only in some parts of the UK, it was still approved where it was previously denied. Here is the link:

It was approved for use for RRMS in England and Wales but not Scotland, and it’s use for PPMS was no across the board. 🎄

[IFwczs in reply to jimeka]

Now in Scotland too.

[jimeka in reply to IFwczs]

Not available anywhere for PPMS in the U.K. 🎄

[IFwczs in reply to jimeka]

Give it time. It wasn't even approved for RRMS a month ago. And I have no idea which kind I have. I was diagnosed with RRMS before, but I don't think this is what I have.
