Me, too. Fear can do more harm to you, physically as well as mentally, than any disease can do.

When I was waiting for my diagnosis I googled everything I could find and got just as many diagnosis'. It was maddening! I had eventually self-diagnosed myself with a brain tumor so you can imagine my relief when the doctor said "MS"! He was a little taken aback at my relieved reaction but understood once I explained to him what I thought I had.

Laura gave you some good advice. Talk to your doctor and let him know your feelings. Make sure your doctor is a good fit for you....not all doctors are.
