Hello

I have had a thoracic spine MRI, a cervical spine MRI and a brain MRI. On March 19th my neurologist called me and said that from looking at my brain MRI, she said that I had multiple sclerosis. She has ordered a spinal tap for me before putting me on Rebif.

I feel so overwhelmed. I just don't know. I guess I am in denial. I have only told a few people and am afraid to tell others until after my spinal tap. I am constantly reading about Multiple Sclerosis on the internet and have been reading the materials she gave me.

When you have a brain MRI and it comes back that you have Multiple Sclerosis does that mean the spinal tap will come back the same? I have 5 children, four sons, 16, 14, 12 1/2 and 8 1/2 and one daughter 5. I work full-time and have a disabled husband. He has limb girdle muscular dystrophy.

As my neurologist told me, it is treatable but not curable.
