Hi everyone. How often do you experience episodes or relapses?
I may be monitored with an MRI every 6 months without starting any specific treatment for now, and I’m not really sure what to expect.
I had been completely asymptomatic until I took a hormonal pill, when I experienced my first symptom — difficulty articulating my words. Apart from that, I haven’t experienced any other symptoms.
Has anyone else been put under observation with regular MRIs but without treatment? What was your experience like?
I’m feeling quite unsure about how to feel about this. Part of me wonders whether I would have preferred to start treatment, but at the same time I don’t know whether treatment is actually necessary in my situation.
I’m a young mum from East Grinstead, and I was also wondering if there are any local meet-ups or groups for people with MS. I’d really like to meet and talk to others and hear about their experiences.
I’ll admit that I’m a little scared about the possibility of developing disabilities in the future. From what I understand, though, disability doesn’t usually appear overnight, and I really hope that’s the case. I think hearing from people who have actually lived with MS for a while would help me understand what life with it can really be like.
I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has been in a similar situation.
