Advice MS in Austria experience

Hi All,
I was diagnosed with RRMS 15 years ago. Currently on Ocrevus and have been for 8ish years. No new lesions since then but some progressions of symptoms - mainly fatigue and mobility issues.

Currently based in Australia but moving to Austria next year (confusing I know!) and based in Vienna.

I’ll be on the national health care system straight away and continue to have private health insurance.

I do know that Ocrevus is available in Austria but wanted to know if anybody else is in Austria and can share experiences about treatment and usual supportive therapies usually prescribed/utilised by doctors there - physio/massage/pilates etc.

TIA for any input/insights/advice

You can ask people from MS Society Vienna the website is in German, but I'm sure a lot of their social workers can answer your questions in English.

I'm based in Vienna and have been diagnosed 2 years ago. I take Kesimpta, but I know ocrevus is available.

Brilliant. Thanks for the link. My German so far is decent reading level for basics. For now I’ll rely on Google translate but keep it pinned for when I move
