Sheena,

Welcome to NT. You will find that we are a great caring group and are here to support you.

It is a frustrating disease as NO ONE can predict your course of the disease. That is really difficult because that is a question we have all asked at some point. The only predictable thing about MS is that it IS unpredictable.

The number of lesions, to my understanding, does not dictate how debilitating your MS will be. As you read in others posts, there are many who have lots of lesions and live perfectly normal lives. There are some with only a few lesions but those lesions effect their every day activities.

Give it some time and see how it goes. I know that is easier said than done. Someone gave me that advice once and it turned out to be the best advice. You will be OK and we are here to help you along the way.

Wishing you the best.
