I really want thank all of you for the responses, I literally have tears. I never knew anything about MS and when people spoke about it, I just thought "oh yeah, that disease that puts people in wheel chairs" and I feel so ignorant that I've always had the "will never happen to me" attitude. This has opened my eyes to reality, and for that - I am extremly thankful.
The neuro called today, stated I have MS and cant make an appt for 2 weeks to go in an see him to discuss treatments but he asked if I could go to the hospital today to start steroid treatments for 3 days. I asked to start is next week because I dont know what benefit that will bring me or any knowledge of the side effects so wanted more time to digest. In the meantime I called an MS center in Boston (where I live) who schedules 6 weeks out but I actually got an appt for this Friday due to a last minute cancellation right before I called, so I am looking forward to that and busy writing down questions. Funny thing is is that today I felt very dizzy, nauseaus and off balance a bit. Im sceptical to think that this is all of a sudden and too cooincidental to happen on the day of my diagnosis, so im really confused because I dont know if Ive felt like this for a while and ignored it and passed it off as something else or if it really did just start today - either way its real and im very scared now. Thanks guys for letting me vent and talk about my experience. Trying to find the courage now to tell my boss. Thank you very much again. ![]() |
