Wow Volada,
Slightly over 2 weeks from your first symptoms to your dx - that is amazing !!! I'm sure it was a huge shock but also at least you aren't stuck in limbo for years of hearing yes - I think you have MS.... no - don't think so... not sure - need more info...

As for me - I cannot tolerate bright lights and we have flourescents at work - arrangements have been made for me to have no direct lighting above me.

I telecommute often.

I have flexibility in my schedule -

I work for a very large company however and I think that makes some difference. But what I honestly think it all comes down to, is the person or persons that you directly report to. They can be great and bend over backward to assist you, or they can be hard core and make it very difficult. Even in our company - I have been treated wonderfully well, not because of "me" but because of who I have had the good fortune to work for. I have seen others, in our same company who needed assistance and didn't seem to have it go as well.

Having said all that - I hope it all goes well for you tomorrow and most of all, I hope you have someone who will go to bat for you and value you.

Best of luck !!!
