Hi guys, saw my neuro today who officially diagnosed relapsing remitting MS. Feels a little strange as I only had my first attack 6 weeks ago but I guess a diagnosis is better than limbo. Thank you so much to everyone who answered all my queries over the last few weeks, especially Karen, who is a blessing! This has been without doubt the hardest time of my life and this forum has kept me sane. My heart goes out to all those who are still in limbo, I know how hard it is to not know what is wrong with you. I hope you too find comfort in this sanctuary of angels xxx
Gosh Sam that was quick. At least you haven’t got to do all that waiting around! Commiserations and congratulations! It is a bit of both. At least you can get the correct treatment now but it is very hard. Give yourself plenty of time to get used to the idea. You may go through a period of grief. Grieving for the lost you. Google the 5 stages of grief - this may help. Take each day at a time and lean on your family and friends for support. Remember we are always here to rant and rave at. We don’t mind! Thinking of you, Teresa xx
Hi Sam, I am sorry to hear that you have MS but so glad you haven’t had a long journey to diagnosis. I wish you well for treatment/s etc. Sam xx
Ditto to Teresa and Sam - not a good thing, but definitely better to know!
Glad to have helped
