In large red letters, name the book.

This week if "YOU" are newly diagnosed (Newbie) with ms, sit back have a long hard cry but DO NOT PANIC, we got you.

So rue because getting up set is not going to help you out. Try to do some reading on MS reading from Google isn’t a real good idea. The MS Society is a good place to start. Don’t get me wrong I was very scared when I got the diagnosis that I had MS. I was diagnosed in 2004.

beat you I got '98 I think. It really is nothing I bother remembering, but I agree. The more information the better and online does have a lot of quacks and scaremongers out there. I will say just stay calm out will be okay. Different but okay

For anyone newly diagnosed, research on one or two trustworthy sites such as MSAA And perhaps a teaching University known for its work in treating MS patients and it's research. Speaking for myself, I am so glad to be at a patient of the UCSF MS Clinic. They have many Neurologists specializing in MS and quite often, with my permission, student Residents of the University sit in on my appointments. Known as one of the best teaching Universities in California, I am fortunate to have them as my medical team. Again, I always suggest researching your doctors credentials before making decisions as to whom will treat you,
