Ditto to what Nurse Nancy said...there are many treatments to slow down MS & treat the symptoms.
Always keep a symptom journal with dates of onset & dissipation-sometimes in the doc's office I forget things and this helps.
And my husband always comes with me due to the act that I have cognitive problems and can't remember what the doc tells me...
so keep your chin up and become an informed health care consumer. Be sure you have a good team, which includes your doc, nurse, and fam members.
