MS is like a rush of wind... I have been dx for a very long time... I am like you all MRI's shown lesions. Spinal tap was within normal limits. Finally after 7 or 8 specialist I will take this dx and listen to my body... At first I was so mad because I was told yes you have it, no you don't, maybe you do, I became so angry because MS, symptoms are so versatile... Therefore over the years I have had true symptoms of MS., Vision problems, muscle weekness, twitching, vertigo, numbness left side and even loss of hearing. I finally accepted the fact that ok it is MS. Therefore, I listen to my body, rid yourself of stress, I know this is hard... But after praying and praying about it I have come to the cross roads that It becomes easier to just say no to some who expect more than what you can give. Rest, Deep Breathing, do whatever makes you at peace. Everyone says stay active... At first I was like oh yeah, let me just stay active because my balance was totally off... I would try and go one way and I would end up going the other way. I then began to laugh at myself because I finally didn't have to make excuses for my way of walking. I am on no meds and I listen to my body, rest if it tells me so, stay active when I feel good, and as far as my concentration I finally discussed this with my Dr. who put me on Vyvance which gives me energy and keeps me focused. Since I have been taking this med I get up early and seem to have my ducks in a roll... I am kinda anal and I like things to be in order, this was one of my biggest problems in dealing with the fatigue and thought processing. This helps me to stay focused and stay active. I know that some would probably challenge this, however, it works for me. Pray, Pray, Pray... If you are anything like me I always wanted to help others... I finally realized I have to take care of my self first.

I concur RELAX. The hardest part is. not knowing. This is new to us but not the Doc. I also agree take a list of questions with you. But most important is relax. Know this, people with MS are the tuffest people walking the planet. Welcome abord this great ride. And always remember your never alone.

Relax...the best thing is to be armed with a list of your questions,observations, symptoms... You sound like you've done your research...
Breathe! I hope it all goes well tomorrow...please let us know how you fared ...good luck

Oops, the fingers got in the way...I'll finish...dag gone it THIS MS disease has got a big fight coming with me!!

No one has mentioned therapy, your Dr. Can push the effort thru the INS. Maze....do it. Then on your own keep it up... ' do as I say not as I have done' this 'train is picking up speed'! Maybe because I have been caught up in ' surviving/managing /learning new ways to do day to day tasks!!! Take care, don't throw in the towel just yet....it becomes ' dag gone it'o
