Newly diagnosed figuring out life
Got diagnosed very randomly and didn’t realise my symptoms where symptoms which I know I am lucky for but now at 26 I’m having to make decisions about children a lot earlier than I planned. I know I wanted children before, anyone got any advice on being newly diagnosed and figuring out life?
When I was originally diagnosed in 2005 at 27, I already had a 8 year old son, MS shocked me when the neurologist told me I had MS, I had a flood of things rushed through my brain like what I would not be able to do with my son that I was planning on doing, fast forward 20 years he’s 28 now and I have had two more children, I was going to continue to live my life, yes MS is there but Im continuing to live my life to the fullest and not let it stop me
I was diagnosed 14 yrs ago at 25. I was married a little over a year and scared to death. (However my dad and sister also have MS so I knew a lot about it) I was in a bad place and had a severe attack. My now ex husband was not a good person and this only made life worse. I thought I would never find someone and was prepared to live life alone… and then I met someone amazing who has been my rock. We have 2 amazing daughters. It won’t always be easy but MS is not a death sentence. If nothing else I am stronger, you got this.
