Welcome to this group! I am sorry that you have it but glad that they know what is causing your grief so they can treat it. It is a lot to take in and I’m sure you are stunned and worried. I wish I could tell you what is a normal timeline, or a normal course of symptoms or normal sensations. However, it seems to me that we are all quite different with lots of variables. I will say that my initial symptoms of super sensitive fingertips feeling like frostbite—-those lasted for a few months and then backed off. So I can say that I considered this an aspect of recovery. I didn’t have any notable changes until probably 10 years later. But again, there is no typical rate. Lots of DMT treatments to choose from. Make sure your doctor is willing to educated you on the benefits, strengths and risks of all. Lastly, I am going to use this Good Friday to say that my one true hope has always been through Jesus Christ, my Savior. I would be remiss if I didn’t use this holy day to express that publicly. So while I cannot offer you answers to your medical questions, I know that through Jesus, there is rest for your soul, a cure for your anxiety and comfort during times of medical distress. Let’s raise up @Maxscott , and others struggling through the MS-maze, in prayer today!
