So went to see the neuro today to follow up on my MRI from September. I knew that it wasn't going to be good since he told me we would need to"discuss options," but I wasn't expecting to get an actual MS diagnosis. But I did.

My MRI showed three active lesions and countless others that are not active, many of which didn't show up on the first one. Both the neuro and his intern commented on how normal and healthy I looked compared to my MRI. He is now thinking that we were discounting too many of my symptoms as being related to stress, when they might, in reality, be from MS.

He thinks that I should start taking meds to hopefully slow down the progression. He suggested Copaxone, and gave me the holidays to think about what I want to. Thoughts?
