First consultation since diagnosis

Tomorrow is my first consultation with the MS specialist since being diagnosed in May after 6 years of messing about and needless to say I am bricking it. It feels so real now and I have no idea what to expect. I'm hoping I'll be offered a DMT and have done plenty of research and feel happy with my choice (should it be offered). Sat here with my glass of red and a hubby who is wonderful but just doesn't get it, wondering what tomorrow will hold. Can't believe it's finally arrived...

Good luck for tomorrow @jessvf14! Which treatment are you hoping for? Hope you get what you need, keep us updated.

Thank you. Hoping to start with Copaxone. I know there are harder hitting drugs but until now my symptoms have fortunately been mild and mainly sensory, but with a moderate plaque load, so I'm not prepared to take the risks and side effects yet of the newer dmts but know I can progress on to them if I worsen. Just want to do something to feel like I'm fighting it though. Wasn't an easy decision but I wanted to be prepared and not waste any more time x
