there are no other words for it except to say: Limboland sucks, MS sucks and life isn't always fair. Not trying ot be harsh, but let's face it... none of us woke up one day and said I think I'll go buy myself some pretty new MS.

Being freaked out, frightened & depressed is 100% normal. It is also normal for human being not to want to give out bad news. I think a lot of doctors feel the need to diagnose you/prescribe you something treatable/fixable So, IMO during that time of them being unsure, they grasp at what sound like ok answers. (if they said "uhh, I dunno" we would probably want our money back LOL) I got called a hysterical bored housewife, fibro, etc. Sometimes the answer is not what they want to say (they are scared of unknowns too) or what we, as patients, want to hear. Heck, I would have loved to hear it was somehing easily fixabe like an ear infection

Remember we are all hear and we have all been exactly where you are right now. The best advice I got was inhale, exhale, repeat. Stupid as it sounds it works

and...Just think of all the cool new friends you are going to make here gentle hugs
