Hi and welcome to NT. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this cruddy diagnosis. It certainly is a shock in the beginning. But this is a great supportive group of people. I was diagnosed 14 months ago and the people on here have helped through some difficult times. The first year will be rough but just know that you will eventually find yourself back on more solid ground.

I would highly recommend this book for someone newly diagnosed. It is easy to read and will answer many of the questions you have about symptoms, choice of medication, and the emotions surrounding this disease, particularly in the beginning stages.

Margaret Blackstone, The First Year-Multiple Sclerosis: An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed

Take care of yourself!
