Hello tizzie and welcome to the family.
Your not going mad your stressed the process is frightening and a long time getting a DX.It is not going to be easy.
Many of have shed many many tears you are not alone with this.We get angry at others but mostly at ourselves.I to have done these things.
Have you had an MRI scan yet?
Have you had an lumbar punture?
We are here to support you and others like you,we have all been through this at many points in our lives.If you want a good old moan please do we will read and comment.
Dont be afraid to ask about medications if you are having problems,do not suffer anything in silence.We can all advise you what to ask and what meds you will maybe able to have.What aides and help is available to you,you do not need a DX to get help.
Charlie,x
Either way, come Saturday, there will probably be tears. Tears of relief that you finally have an answer. Tears of frustration that you don’t. Also either way, tears of fear at what the future may hold.
It is OK to cry.
I think we all do, at some time or another.
It only becomes a problem if we can’t find a way out. Before that happens, get some help. Speak to your GP about counselling and meds if necessary.
If it is MS, then you will come to learn that it is OK. It’s sure not what we would have chosen for ourselves, but there are far worse things. Life with MS can still be good. It is not the end of the world.
You’ll be OK.
