Hi all, I’m Melissa and I’ve just been diagnosed with RRMS at 30. I’ve had symptoms since 2016 so it has been a long battle for me to be taken seriously, the only reason I was able to get a diagnosis in the end is I was very lucky to go private through my work. I think I should be feeling relieved I finally have answers, but I don’t really know what I’m feeling apart from overwhelmed! Looking to talk to people who understand as I don’t have a lot of people in my life that can relate to what I’m going through - nice to meet you all!

Hello Melissa,
Welcome. I too have RR and got my first MS dx letter at 20. I’d been having symptoms at least 10 years before that but I just thought it was normal growing pains.
Still going through my second relapse this year but I know I should shake it off in the next week or so.
I find it always good to think positive and know you’ll get better again, soon enough.
Best,
JP
