Newly diagnosed RRMS

Newly diagnosed with RRMS, worried about what the future holds Struggling to get my head around it
@Stumbler

@cheryl602 , I'm sorry that you have been given this diagnosis to deal with. What does the future hold? Nobody knows, from the healthiest to the sickest. Life is wildly unpredictable for everybody. But, it's natural to have these thoughts, It is part of the grieving process for the life we believe we are leaving behind. MS is no longer the condition that is talked about in hushed circles. It's still a taboo subject, which is a shame. It is now a condition which can be managed by medications developed over the last 20-30 years. So, take your time as you process this diagnosis. Do some research, at your own pace. The "Newly Diagnosed" tag on this page is a good place to start :- https://support.mstrust.org.uk/shop

@Stumbler Thanks for your reply, its definatly not sunk in yet although it was the diagnosis i was fully expecting as id done alot of research on it already I suppose no amount of research can prepare you for actually being told it though The first few days i was fine, it was just another (Large) bump in the road that seems to be my life since turning 30! But last night i had an absolute meltdown and today i havnt mentally felt ok, physically i feel fine though, i suppose that will have to be gotten used to until i think ive fully accepted that life will have to be moulded and adapted Im sure in time i will accept it though, just for right now i dont think im doing very well at it
