I remember that feeling like it was yesterday. I was so anxious. As much as possible I practiced deep breathing, I did some meditation, and was able to speak to my husband about it when the stress was becoming too much. Felt it again once diagnosis was confirmed and I was waiting for insurance to OK Ocrevus and to get the infusion appt- I felt like every second counted. Unfortunately, stress is not a friend of MS. So, more meditating, deep breaths, and journaling got me through. Oh, and coloring - something productive and distracting. Sending you good thoughts

I seriously don't know.. so a good way to deal with it. It was super hard for me too, especially the explaining part to family who is stuck in the "no you can't be sick, this isn't happening" mindset.. so I have no advice but I can tell you, you're not an exception.. it was and sometimes still is hard for all of us 😕
