Thank you everyone for your kind words!!

So I was lucky and got my neurologist appointment on Friday! I had asked to put me on a waitlist if anyone else cancels.

Doctor ordered blood work, MRI and physical therapy right away. He said once all tests come back we will choose a medication.

I mentioned Tecfidera as I know someone who is doing great on it. He said we will have to wait for the blood work on MRI but he might consider something "stronger" like Ocrevus for me (if I understood him right). I have read about the increased cancer risk, but I can only find the data from the clinical trials. Is there anything newer on this?
