My first symptom was a slip and fall that caused me to break my right foot. I fell again 4 years later when my leg “gave way a second time” and broke the same foot again.

Despite reporting these two falls to my Mayo Clinic PCP along with numbness, tingling, fatigue and electric shock sensations in my neck, I was not correctly diagnosed until more than 4 years from the first fall.

Only after refusing to accept his latest misdiagnosis of depression did my PCP order a MRI and spinal tap.  So many years of frustration and countless medical tests.

Yes, I have had 3 doses of Ocrevus (the initial starter 2 doses and one full dose). The first infusion for PPMS was done at age 59 1/2. The first full dose a week after turning 60.  I have also been taking high dose biotin for about one year.  My next scheduled in Ocrevus infusion takes place in December 2018.

At that time, I will reevaluate my decision.  Thank you for starting this discussion and for your very informative articles.
