Thumper sorry you are down right now, but thats just it now not permantly, you will shake out of it the first year is so over whelming, we all lose our minds at this lovely news of having MS i was on something that really helped fight the aniexty and that in turn helped me think clearer and it helped a lot(lexapro was what i was on), talk to your doc about something that can help take the edge off. i hope you can get this settled in your mind soon, cause it is an illness that can be lived with, its a PITA but it can be done, hang in there Thump
