Thoughts of being newly diagnosed
Hi everyone, I'm new here, got diagnosed about 2 months ago after optic neuritis and 4 months of waiting for the results. I feel relieved to have the diagnosis but also feel like I'm "fake" and "guilty" seeing as my only symptom is my eye problem. Has anyone had similar experiences/feelings after the diagnosis?
On my good days I feel likeI'm "faking" it & don't get why I make such a fuss. Then, my brain goes on the fritz and things stop working, or I feel like fresh hell and I'm like "Oh yeah, this ain't normal". I will gently suggest doing some more research on symptoms. There's some out there that will surprise you is MS related. Hope this is helpful
@BogWytch thanks, I am currently trying to learn more about different symptoms, but might still also just not believe that a random muscle spasm might be related to MS. Nice to know that it's not just me and my "fake illness" 😅
