New Diagnosis

Hi everyone,

Many months ago i came on this site when a specialist thought i had PPRG and i was started on a weeks trial of steroids which made no diference.

Moving forward i have now been diagnosed withh primary progressive ms. My specialists and myself were going down the wrong road completley. Its a releif to finally get a diagnosis and hopefully treatment for my symptoms although there are no meds that can slow down the progression of ms.

I thought i would post this as it could help others when trying to get a diagnosis when sometimes symptoms and test results are overlooked.

Thanks Christine

Sorry to hear the verdict in the end - and I do hope they are able to relieve at least some of your symptoms. I do know what you mean about the relief at getting a diagnosis and label even when it is a not entirely pleasant one.

Ocrelizumab is looking hopeful for PPMS and it was expected to be submitted for marketing authorisation about now - so fingers crossed that it does turn out to be helpful in slowing the progression.

All the very best to you for the future.
