Hiya Stacy. You have every right to feel lost, it's a big unknown world! Allow yourself to sit and think about EVERYTHING that this means for you. Allow yourself time to cry, and feel angry, and grieve and everything in between. Use supports that you have in your family and friends. Talk to them about your fears and DO NOT APOLOGISE for feeling the way you do. Write down any questions that pop into your head about your diagnosis/ meds etc. and ask your MS nurse/ Neuro/ MS Society when you can. Sending love x

I really couldn't have said it any better myself Lilly. I comforted myself when I was diagnosed in the knowledge that although everything changed ion that moment of diagnosis, nothing did as well. I still would have had MS, it was just now I could look my beast in the eye, I could work out what I needed to do to conquer him. Stay strong, and IO can promise you, you will get thropugh this :-)
