Relapse

Just need to vent a little! I was just diagnosed with my second relapse yesterday, I am feeling very alone right now! Even tho it is minor I feel like I’ve hit a major brick wall with my health.
@beky

Sorry to hear that I have also just had a second relapse. I know how you feel as I initially thought I could be 'fine' for the next few years but have had 2 in 18 months and its a bit scary. Are you on any treatment? Iv been told that this relapse will now mean il be offered treatment but iv not heard anything for a couple of months so am feeling a bit alone also

@Stumbler

You vent away, @jennifer_fierz . A second relapse is a stark dose of reality that the spectre of MS is not just a dream. It may seem like a brick wall, but it's just one of those hurdles that life can throw at anybody at anytime. It is also an opportunity to review your Disease Modifying Therapy (DMT) to assess whether the present option is up to the task or whether you need to consider something more powerful. You have your age on your side, so tackling these issues now should allow you to determine a strategy that may settle things down and allow you to resume a normal life.
