Help!!!just Diagnosed-frantic
Hello everyone out there! I am 48 years old and it was just confirmed to me from my neurologist that I have mild MS. I had an MRI whch showed lesions as well as a spinal tap indicating MS. I have had dizziness on and off for over 9 years,which was when I had my first MRI, that also showed a few scattered lesions that was discounted as my having had elevated BP's during my last pregnancy.Only other symptom during that time span was an occasional feeling of numbness in my rt.arm ,so infrequent that I could count the times on one hand-no pun intended!! I know nothing about this disease yet,am very upset and have been surfing the web and have read alot of different things so far.I guess what I really want to know is,should I start medication,is there any dietary considerations or vitamins I should look into,and what does mild really mean? I go from feeling extremely distraught to then feeeling like maybe this is a blessing that I know this now before it gets worse.Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Help!!! Nancy:
