hey another Aussie!

Welcome

It's going to take a while to come to terms with your diagnosis.. there'll be big ups and downs .. it really sucks to be diagnosed, but you'll learn to live with it.. I was doing terrible when I was first diagnosed now I'm doing..ok It's hard being diagnosed during the prime of your life, it really makes you have to re-assess things.

If you need to know anything australia-specific I'm probably a good bounce-off point, just shoot me a PM and I'll be happy to answer most things - these crazy americans sometimes have different names for medications and some medications aren't available to us yet

we get great free healthcare in Australia, you won't have to pay a cent if you don't want! If you're going to have MS anywhere.. this is probably the best country to have it.

Learn learn learn about it and don't think you're going to end up with every symptom talked about on the forum .., it will just do your head in

Good luck!!
