Feeling unusually optimistic!

I received a letter today from the Neurologist about my recent MRI and it seemed pretty good! There were NO new lesions and the old ones seemed to have gotten slightly smaller!! So I am pretty pleased with this and it made my usual very pessimistic self rethink! Who'dv thought?! ?

Newbie here - diagnosed this week - hi!

Hi all, 32yo UK guy here; diagnosed on Tuesday with RRMS - am ultimately relieved as I finally know what's going on, and it's not the big C (which they thought it might be!) Don't get me wrong, I'm under no illusions that this is a life-changer and can be utterly debilitating down the line. Howe...

Your posts have a personal touch, 'cause it's the way you wish to see the world. Or at least the way you want...
