Hey (:
My names Hayley, completely new here and not really sure how this all works but thought I'd give it a go
I'm 22 years old and from Cambridge I got diagnosed with MS on the 17th of June 2016 after having tingly/numb hands and legs and blurred vision I was given steroids for the first 5 days but on nothing now going back to the hospital on the 29th of July to discuss treatments so if anyone has any advice on treatments? MS nurse spoke about lemtrada but I've heard pros and cons!
Anyways ... Just wanted to say HI to everyone :)
Hi @hayleycousins94 and welcome. Yes, this is the way this place works. It's friendly and very informal. Anyway, it would be worthwhile you doing a bit of research about what treatments are available and what they entail. Here's a good place to start, http://support.mstrust.org.uk/file/MSDecisionsWeb.pdf . You probably have a raft of questions, so you ask them and we'll try and answer them. :wink:
Yes you need to be well armed with information when you talk to your neuro. I thought mine would just prescribe one for me but he said I needed to research and decide on one. There were only two available at the time, it didn't take much time to decide. Now there are many to choose from, so do your research and ask a lot of questions. Potter
