Hi Keri,

I can empathize with how you feel right now. Nothing makes sense, you're completely overwhelmed and there isn't an end in sight.

We've all gone through this at some point in our disease. You were totally blind sided with the MS diagnosis. Ty might be a good med for you.

I would also suggest that you find a local Psychologist to talk to. Nothing like letting it out to someone who will listen and help you through all of this. It's well worth the time and investment.

Many of the questions you ask have no answer. We are all different in how we are affected. You've just had all of this "dumped" on you and all at once. No time to mentally prepare and adjustment to the diagnosis will take time and patience.

Know that we are all here for you no matter what. We're all concerned for you and want to support you any way we can. Ranting here and putting it in writing is a great therapy plus you get feedback from people with the same experiences.

You will be going through the same seven greiving stages as if you experienced a death in the family close to you. Reseach this and be prepared for it. You're NOT alone!
