I’m very new here, I’m still waiting to see my neurologist, symptoms are getting worse every day. I can’t seem to see a happy moving forward, all I can see is all the bad and debilitating things . I’m usually a very happy,upbeat, optimistic person but now I just feel completely overwhelmed. Did you all feel the same ?

Sorry that you are going through such a bad time and yes I certainly did feel that way at first, I was lucky that I was dx within 3 months. I wasn’t offered any DMDs but later; I asked for Betaferon, it did its job, I came off of it in 2015.
If you do have MS; there are many much better Disease Modifying drugs around these days.
Hi, sorry to hear you feel so bad
I won’t lie, it’s really hard in the beginning - but it does get easier. You find out what works for you
For me it was the unknown element of it, that messed with my mind
Make sure you have a good support network around you
Things will even out, if you’re right at the beginning then that’s a really tough thing to go through but please believe me when I say things will get better…clearer….less scary/confusing
Keep strong xx

Yes. I’m afraid feeling completely overwhelmed is perfectly normal. The bad news is that there are no short cuts for getting through the grim early days, weeks or months. The good news is that it gets better, it really does.
Thank you to everyone who replied , I don’t feel quite as overwhelmed now . Xxx

Hi Foxy21
I’m new to this forum and just resonated so much with your post. How are you now? Have you had any update? I feel like my symptoms are getting worse every day and can’t see how I will get back to feeling normal.
