hi charlie,

the advice i would give you is to pursue whichever you would want if it turned out you didn't have MS. none of us (dx'd with MS) know which way our disease path will turn out and how fast.

i was dx'd 11 yrs ago and my neuro thought i'd be in a WC in 5 yrs. yes, i'm symptomatic and have made some mobility accommodations (cane, walker...) but i'm still independent and drive. i've been lucky, and stable but it hasn't been a walk in the park either.

i'm a (retired) nurse and both areas would excite me. but, i would be really excited with neuroscience. that's just me. ask which would excite you the most. they both have so much to offer society and to the person doing the work.
