G'Day fellow Relapsing-Remitting ms (RRms) family members, especially YOU newbies (Newly Diagnosed). Back 23-odd years ago I did not know where to look or even what to ask about this illness. I went to a support group meeting and saw all these women in wheelchairs and it scared me terribly. Was this my future? Hmm, I was a 28-year-old former pilot. Not exactly the best beginning. Today 20? years later, life is pretty good. I have a 23+ year marriage and go to the gym 3 days a week and walk about 5000 steps a day when I am not being lazy and watching television.
YOU can do this as well. There is no reason why not. Listen to your doctor and ask for the newest strongest medicine available right now. Avoid wait and see people, the longer YOU wait the worse for YOU in my experience. You can come back a little, but it takes a really good doctor, so do not expect it. I have seen it happen though, yes personally.
Strive always, to take this illness seriously and to be a little better every day in some way. Avoid doom and gloom people, their story does not have to be yours. This is a huge illness, as they say, no to ms people are exactly the same.
Go to Amazon and get yourself "The brain" and "The Ventral Nervous System" charts. It is helpful. look them over, study them a little,
Good luck on your journey. Remember newest strongest medine and I am NOT a doctor so talk to yours.
