New to ThisIsMS

Hi I am from Australia and new to this forum. I have had MS for 7 years and have struggled to deal with it.
I have two children aged 9 and 7 and both me and my partner work full time. I research all the areas of MS and the new medication and treatments. I am about to see a new neurologist that is only a specialist in MS and I hope this helps.
It took few years for any real signs to show but I now have difficulty walking and standing. I refuse to use a walking stick as I feel that people will look and laugh at me. I see a therapist every few months to help with my anxiety and panic attacks. I have also been doing yoga and muscle exercises every few days but I would like to do more.
I am currently taking Rebif but have been looking into taking Gilenya, but after research on this medication I am unsure if I should take it. I am also looking into the CCSVI treatment.
