Hi everyone,
I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Fiona, and I’ve recently been diagnosed with RRMS after developing symptoms last May. I first saw a neurologist this June, and it’s been a real rollercoaster ever since.
I have two young children and a husband, and the timing of everything has felt surreal. I was first told they believed I had MS from my MRI on the very day we completed on our first home. My lumbar puncture ended up being on my wedding anniversary, and I received my official results over the phone while sitting in a shopping centre car park. It’s been a whirlwind of emotions, to say the least.
I’m currently waiting to meet the MS team to discuss medication options, which feels like another big step in getting some stability and understanding of what comes next. I’m still trying to process everything, and finding this community feels like a bit of an anchor right now.
I’m hoping to learn how others manage day-to-day life, treatments, and the emotional side of things -especially while juggling family life
Looking forward to connecting with you all, and thank you in advance for any advice or support you’re happy to share.
Fiona x
