Hello newly diagnosed person, (newbie) I am guessing "YOU" are a girl (female) Most people in this family are. I, of course, am not, but I live with one so if "YOU" have any strange girly ( I could not resist ) question I or somebody on this friendly informative family should be able to help. It does require one thing from "YOU' everything in life does. "YOU' have to stop crying a moment and ASK. Yes, "YOU" have to ASK. There is lots of experience, lots of knowledge, but "YOU" have to ASK.
I am not a doctor or any type of therapist, but I will say this. It is going to be OKAY. If "YOU" are diligent and more than smart, it can be a very doable disease. Shed a few tears, read that as many. When "YOU" calm down, start working on how "YOU" can start making this life good. "YOU" can but it takes a little thinking about it and effort on your part.
A lot of your Relapsing-Remitting ms(RRms) experience will depend upon your actions. Sitting in that cold dark corner crying will lead nowhere good. Doing a lot of research (Dr Alan Boster YOUTUBE) will show "YOU" the way forward. Everyday health Top Tips to help you build resilience for all the trials and tribulations that "YOU" will have. "YOU" and I do not have a two asprins and a rest type of illness. It requires serious action by serious people. "YOU" are up to the challenge. RRms can be lived well with. Accept this, change your ways and start moving forward in your very long RRms life.
Starting points, wear protective underwear. Soiling yourself in public is not what "YOU" need right now. Disease-Modifying Therapy. Ocrevus is the strongest, only six monthly infusions. Strongly ask for it, and no I do not work for whoever makes it. There are side effects, I hear that Benadryyl during infusion helps. Get started, "YOU can do RRms, we have and so can "YOU"
