Some of us are diagnosed in a relatively short time....others have to wait. I had symptoms for years before I finally got an MS diagnosis.

How old are you? Does anyone else in your family have MS?

I can say "just relax" but I know that's not possible. :rolleyes: Keep us informed as to how your Neuro visit went. I hope you have a good doctor! :hug:

Gosh, there are lots. MS symptoms vary so much between people. I know Lyme Disease is very similar. So is Devics.

I hope Dejibo will come on soon.....she is the best at explaining all this. Here is a link to the MS forum here. http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum17.html Just reading all the different threads is a big help. Sort of familiarizes you with the different aspects of MS and how it affects each of us differently.

Also google "MS Symptoms" and you can get some good info.

new to forum
 
Hi My name is Tracey and I am new to this forum. Not new to MS, I was diagnosed in Augusgt 1997. I have RRMS and just retired from working 2 years ago because of MS from a job I was at for 22 years. I'm looking forward to meeting other people with MS and trying to find things to do with all of this free time I now have.

Kitty 05-01-2012 02:17 PM

Hi Tracey! :) Welcome to the group. There are lots of MSer's here at varying stages of the disease. We all try to support each other. Sorry about your diagnosis but glad you found us. We're always glad to have new friends.

Thank you for the greeting Kitty. I was rereading my post and I guess I had an MS moment when I wrote it and proofread it. I am not able to edit my posts, but I realized there I made an error on my diaganosis date. I was diagnosed August of 1987 not 1998.

Sorry about that.

Welcome Tracey, happy that you are joining us. :)
