Default Some MS/Life issues

Hi Everyone!

Hope everyone is doing well and battle their symptoms like a boss

I have a few questions:

1- Lately (for the past 3-4 days) i've been feeling a pressure/discomfort type of pain in my back lower head & upper neck.. Has anyone felt that before? I feel like my head is too heavy for my neck to handle ( a weird explanation i know..) Should I be contacting my doc? Also, could the hot weather have an effect on it?


2- My vision is fine (thank God) but sometimes when I look at a designed object (ie. a flowery rug) I see flying colors (for back of a better explanation..). Is that due to vitamin deficiency or is that another MS symptoms that I should add to my list of worries?


3- Has anyone tried Dr. Wahls' paleo plus diet? Is switching into a total ketogenic diet healthy for a 23 year old female? I'm following her Paleo diet now but I just wanted to go further and see what happens.. My doc doesn't believe in the fact that certain foods elevate/decrease symptoms no matter how much evidence I show him... but I know food has a HUGE impact as i've been noticing the decrease in my symptoms.. but is the paleu plus ( eating twice a day and fasting for some time) be good for you?

4- I've started copaxone injections since 2 weeks now.. How long should I wait before having an MRI? dying to see the results..


5- With respect to the MS diagnosis... would going to medical school be a bad idea than say doing a masters? I know that both will have tons of stress but I don't know what to do with my life.. I don't wanna start something then have a relapse and end up dropping out.. Anyone have any advice?


Sorry for the long post My support group consists of only my family and VERY few friends... Most of them choose to stay ignorant and believe that I'm over exaggerating my worries and diagnosis.. Ah Need people to talk to

Sincerely,

Charlie
