Newly diagnosed
Hi All,
I have recently been diagnosed and the neurologist has told me that they’ve referred me to the Ms clinic, but the wait time is 6 months ….. I feel like I’ve very little information about MS (never heard of the disease until I was diagnosed), I don’t know what type of MS I have, how many lesions, I was never shown my MRI scan.
I’m currently taking vitamin d3 once a week as suggested by the doctor but they said that the MS nurse will get in touch with me to discuss the treatment plan.
I need help navigating through this, I’m worried that my symptoms might escalate and wouldn’t have enough knowledge to help myself.
keep phoning them up or go in there say I need help argent. I had MRI scan straight away it was Ms. they should give u more information on it and a mri scan!! you can’t wait until 6 months that’s ridiculous!!!! you must be scared and worried about it all 😢🤗x
DO NOT Google MS! This is the first, most important thing when newly diagnosed. It is unpredictable but this does not mean you will be ill forever or in a wheelchair in a year! MS is not a death sentence by any means, it can bring challenges but these are surmountable and life is full of challenges for everyone. Welcome to the club!
