Welcome. Sorry to hear about the DX, but glad you found us.

Getting this DX out of the blue is never fun. Despite having two family members with this, I was not expecting to have MS too. It floored me when they told me they suspected it.

As you heard, there is no definites with this disease. It hits each of us differently. My mom was Dx'd young and had an aggressive form. My grandmother (dad's mom) had a "mild" form. She had some nasty flares, but always managed to bounce back for the most part. They finally told her it was MS when she was in her early 50s. She retired in her early 60s from her pathology job.

Even mine is a little different. I don't have that many leisons, but they are positioned in not so great areas in my brain and spine. Who knew that only 12 visible leisons could cause such havoc.

Be kind to yourself as much as you can. Even though it sounds like a cliche, taking it one day at a time is something that we need to do. For me it's been a hard lesson - I'm a stubborn one, LOL.
