Can I pick your brains???

Hey Guys, I was diagnosed 10 years ago this year & got the news this February that my specialist thought I could now use the term benign MS. I was a thrilled!! Fast forward two weeks & I had the worst relapse I have ever suffered! Now my specialist wants me to go in too discuss starting medication. I want to ask questions but unsure of what to ask, I wondered do you guys have any suggestions on questions I could ask? Also I recently told the DVLA about my ms and are terrified they will take my license off me, do any of guys have to deal with the DVLA? One finally question to the mums, I have an 8 month old son & my ms has being terrible since birth, will it settle back down or is this how it will be from now on? Thanks for taking the time to read!

You had no choice about telling DVLA and you have to tell your car insurance people too. Your premium shouldn't change and the only thing the DVLA is likely to do is switch you to a 3-year licence which will cost you nothing to renew each time. It's just a precaution on their part, I guess. They certainly won't ban you. Just be aware that they will probably take ages (i.e. months) to sort things out and in the interim it's perfectly legal to drive on your current licence. Definitely get on meds as soon as possible.
