Hi fellow MS-ers! I'm 25 and was diagnosied with RRMS on 2nd November 2018. Currently not on any medication as of yet. (Awaiting a comparison MRI but had to postpone due to chest infection - sod's law). Just came across this site whilst browsing Instagram and just thought I would introduce myself. I'm not really ready to speak out about my illness to people "in real life" and so only the people closest to me actually know I have it. Do you find out hard it bring it up in conversation to others?

Hi and welcome @katrinaf93, we're all quite safe here, whole range of types of ms, ages, experiences, we all like to chat and help if we can. You're very recently dxd, so don't rush anything. A diagnosis if ms is no longer the sentence it used to be. Although I wouldn't wish the diagnosis on anyone, even my worst enemy, if I may say so, you have picked a good time to be dxd. There are now a whole range of DMT's available, your neuro and eventually your ms nurse ( best thing since sliced bread) will guide you through it, and as we always say with ms there's no such thing as a silly question, so ask away if there's anything you want to know. 👍😜😍

@grandma Wow, thank you so much for your kind words. When I first heard the words "MS", I literally thought I was completely on my own and by myself so to come across a network like this is truly such a support to me. Even to find out the various experiences and types people can have is blowing my mind. I've never known anyone to have the disease and I am totally uneducated about the whole thing so this is a BIG learning curve for me. Thank you again <3 so appreciated.
