Amber thought her life was over when diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) aged just 20. But a drug trial gave her the chance to finish university and manage her condition more effectively. 🎓
💊 The study was testing a drug called ocrelizumab. Although she finished taking part in the trial in 2021, she continues to take the drug, which she says has made a huge difference to her quality of life.
