New Diagnosis of MS

Hi I am new to this Forum. For a long time I have been struggling with many symptoms that connect to MS. I had my MRI before Christmas 2021 and got my Diagnosis today of Replasing MS. I am still taking it all in and feeling overwhelmed. I believe I will see my Neurologist again soon and await the next Appointment. I have looked into all the useful resources and am unsure what else I can do at present. It is lovely to meet you all and I am hoping by joining this Forum to support one another in Kindness.

HI,
This is the forum that noone wants to join but will hopefully give you support and answers to questions.

Top tip

Keep an MS diary - when symptoms start and what they are, when they stop.
When you start medication.
Any appointments- write the outcome
If you buy any equipment to help - walking stick etc.

Just means that if or when you apply for PIP you have a written timeline of your progression.

Take care,
Jen

Welcome to the forum. I’m coming up to 4 years diagnosed and the only advice I can give you is to be kind to yourself and take time to get used to things. It’s only now that I’m really getting my head around everything. It’s not a race.
