Hi Helen! Gazelle gave you some excellent advise so I really don't have anything to add to it!!
I've been dx since 2005 but I believe I've had MS for many years prior to that. Just putting 2 and 2 together regarding symptoms I've had throughout the years but never knew what was causing them.
Good luck to you and keep coming here and posting. It really does help. And the great sense of humor most of our members share will keep you smiling!
