New here
 

I don't know where to dive in here so I'll post here. I was just diagnosed with MS last week and I am starting Copaxone this evening. I'm having a hard time accepting I even have this disease. I only got an MRI to shut up my opthamologist and primary who insisted I should see a neuro. And now here I am, I have MS. I don't even know where to begin to ask questions. First I have to get through this first shot.

I also have spinal issues and my back has been giving me fits lately. But in the scheme of things, that seems so mundane now. :(

Welcome (not so) Happy Feet..Nice to meet you.:)

I hope Copaxone is your answer to slowing this carpy disease.

Come on in and join your new Family. :hug:

limbo land
 

I have had ms symptoms for 4 years now. Yet, I don't have lesions. The doctors think that it might be MS yet it might not be. I have had numbness for the 1st 2 years, then the symptoms changed to legs pains, coordination problems and tiredness. This has affected my walking for many years.

If anyone has gone through the same thing or can help direct me to good resources, please respond.

Hi, 13monka! Glad you got to the MS board! Now that you've introduced yourself, you might want to start a thread in the main section with your story. There are a lot of limbo-landers around these parts.

Welcome to you and to all the other recent joiners!

:welcome_sign:

Welcome Monka. Nice to meet you..:) I hope you don't have MS, but there are worse things, and if you do, this is the place to be.

Come on in and join us..:hug:

Hello, possible MS here?
 

Hi everyone,
I'm glad to have found your board. I saw a neuro coming up on two weeks ago for dizziness/loss of balance, numbness/weakness in my right hand, double vision, fatigue and some other symptoms. Because I've had hand numbness before the doc was quick to suspect MS. I had an MRI that day. It indicated one small 'spot' on the brain stem, so the doctor decided that it was probably something else and that the blood work would be very telling. We waited out the blood work, which was all normal. Because there's no other obvious culprit, the doctor has ordered a VEP for Wednesday (again suspecting MS), so I'm in limbo right now. Eeeek.

Has anyone been this road before? The maybe-well maybe not-well maybe process? It's infuriating, especially given how terribly awful I feel. I have 3 kids to care for, and I'm doing a generally awful job at it right now. I came to this forum because I feel this is where I will end up, and since the members here have so much wisdom to share, I'd love any and all advice.

Thanks so much,
Kristin :)
