New/learning to live with MS.

Hello,

I’m new here and was diagnosed with MS in February. It has been life changing and a huge shock but I have an amazing support network and trying to stay positive although I do have my sad and upsetting days.

Hello, all I would say I be kind to yourself and give your self a little time to absorb the news, having a sad day or an upsetting day is ok. Everyone has to deal with MS in different ways. I got told when I was about 20 and now I am in my mid 50’s. Since then the drugs available have changed with luck your team ill find something that works for you.

Good luck, stay positive (mostly if you can)

Hi there. I think everyone goes through a sort of shock and grieving process after diagnosis. It’s a lot to take in and deal with. If you think it would help then get yourself some counselling sessions - just to think out loud and help deal with the myriad of emotions . It helped me ( and saved my wife from having to listen to all my fearful thoughts ).
