Keri-
I'm with Snoopy - I hate that phrase too! It's a nice sentiment, but MS doesn't have you till it HAS you.

Here's a cyber hug because I know just how hard it is in the beginning. I was a total mess for the first 2 years. Felt like my life had been stolen right out from under me and that my brain was a ticking time bomb. A few more years later.....and I think I'm doing ok. The biggest part of getting ok with MS was participating on these boards and seeing lots of other folks having a good time despite their MS (oh yea, and a good therapist helped an awful lot too.)

Be kind to yourself right now, it's a lot of adjustment to make. It's ok to be angry, cry, depressed, whatever - just try to get it out so it doesn't control you. Look forward to seeing you around here!
