I’m not familiar as I’ve just got on medication myself. Kisempta it’s one injection per month. I was thinking maybe the medication makes these symptoms come out? Idk too much about ocrus though.

It’s such a weird feeling trying to explain to someone that you are feeling very different now. Even though on the outside it looks like nothing is wrong, but on the inside I feel like my mind is moving at 100mph while my body is like let’s move at 1mph

Ocrevus likely won’t help with stiffness. It’s for slowing the disease progression. I’d ask your Dr about antispasmodics.

Yes! PT, PT, AND MORE PT! learn your best moves, and do them at home as much as you would if you were training for the Olympics!
