So I got my long awaited diagnosis today.

I’m not really sure what I’m writing her for or how I feel. My partner knows and my parents know but I don’t know if I know yet. Make sense?

It sometimes takes a while for it to sink in. I think, though I suspected MS strongly, that acceptance came fairly gradually for me. I was relieved to finally put a name to all the weird symptoms.

I’m sorry you’ve received this diagnosis, but now you know what you’re dealing with and can begin treatment.

Vent here any time. We understand.

As soon as I get to my pc instead of this phone will post some links to great info. Start with MSAA, then maybe 1-2 others. More than that gets you more confused. We are here for you, please feel free to ask questions read along, Join in when you are ready.

Getting the diagnosis is a lot to absorb. I remember when I was diagnosed almost 20 years ago. I wondered if a day would ever go by that I wouldn’t stop and think about it. I wondered if Multiple Sclerosis would become who I am.

The fact is, you are not MS! It does not define you. I don’t think of it all the time. Most people don’t know because I’m not in a wheelchair.

Whatever your symptoms are, you will learn how to manage them with the help of your doctor.

Everyone in the world has to deal with hard things. MS is our thing and I am praying for you.
