I consider myself a newby too. My name is Sheila and I was dx in Oct. 09. I recall symptoms back to 12/08 but they may go back farther. I had an MRI first and then a spinal tap. Before the neuro dx'ed me, I had an inkling because when I told a drug rep of my symptoms he told me it sounded like MS. He helped me decide on Rebif for therapy. I stumbled on this site and have found some good information and its nice to know some people who understand what I am going through. At first glance I appear 100% healthy but watching me walk and talk after a while and you would think I am drunk. I had no idea that there was a name for the walking besides what the Dr.s called it until I came to this site.

I hope you get alot out of this forum and help with your health issues and questions that you might have.
