Newly diagnosed
Hi I got diagnosed with rrms two weeks ago. I'm 38 and surgeling a bit with the new. I have thought for a very long time that I have this but only recently my gp stared to listen to me as the pain was getting worse. I have an app next mth to see the neurologist about med they said I might get started on tecfidra and pain med. is it normal to feel so lost anxious want to cry all the time after being told this. Thanks Sarah.
Hi @sarahlb and welcome. A diagnosis of MS hits you and you have to navigate your way through a grieving process, as you have lost your usual healthy self. So, take your time and go easy on yourself. It take time to process this information and learn what it means to you. Life will still go on, ambitions can still be realised. You just might have to adjust how you achieve those ambitions. Make a list of questions and concerns that you have, so you can take the list to your Neuro appointment to ensure you don't forget anything. Post any questions you have and we'll provide some responses.
Thank you. I have a list done already think it's just going to take time to get used to.
