I think all newly dx MSers go thru what your going thru. The not knowing is the worst. I was dx at 21yrs old. All I did was panic, worry, etc. I went 19yrs with so mild flares I really almost forgot I had MS. I have learned, you can never compare yourself to other MSers as this disease affects everyone differently. Out of the 21yrs Ive had MS, Ive never had ON. I hope to continue that, but worrying about it wont do me any good. Live in the moment, and let the future take care of itself. Its good advice, but hard to do, I know. Worrying can cause flares. Stay strong, and always remember, your not alone in this fight. We are all here to be strong for each other when we find it difficult ourselves.
