My first question to the Neuro was "Is this disease hereditary? My two boys were my only concern at that point. He told me no, it wasn't. Of course, I researched it to death on the Internet (just like I have done for everything since the dx ). That is one thing I could not handle well.....the fact that I might have passed on this disease.

Like Kelly and TXBatman, I was relieved to hear the MS diagnosis as they thought I had a nerve tumor in my thoracic spine. I'll take MS over that.

I think I was actually laughing at the pictures of my skull and brain when my pcp showed my my MRI's. He started laughing too. I was just so relieved that I did not have a brain tumor and I knew two people who had MS and they "looked" like they were doing okay.

When I've heard this I've always wondered what they think ppl with MS look like. Ghouls, perhaps?
