Default new M.S. diagnosis

I am new to this site,and have a question.I am 33 and was dx with ms 3mo ago after going numb from the waist down(it started in my toes)after going to the e.r. and being admitted,they did the painful spinal tap,and 5MRI's.They then said it was ms,gave me I.V.steroids,and sent me home with a referal to a specialist(that I cannot afford) I am now in a volunteer medical program that will get me in touch with the dr.'s I need,and was told I need to be on treatments.I have 1lesion in my brain,and 1 on my spine.I am absolutely terrified to go on the DMD,and want to know what anyone might think.Am taking vitamins,and have changed my diet significantly.I have been feeling great except for the occasional tingle in my back and legs,and some fatigue.Any help/suggestions would be great.what do you all think about the pro's and cons of treatments or not taking them at all?
