I am alone in this illness and I am scared to know the outcome would love for some that has had it a while to help me understand it more clearly.

Hello!

I was diagnosed about 7 years ago and am now on Tysabri. It can be a really scary diagnosis but not the end of the world. I try to concentrate on the things I can do right now versus the things I was able to do and can no longer. Are you on any meds now? It is important to be on an immune-modifying drug such as Avonex, Betaseron, Copaxone, or the others. These will help keep possible progression at bay. Also, MS is a like a little dog nipping at your heels in terms of depression and fatigue. So look after yourself carefully. There will be really crummy days and some really good ones. Concentrate on the good ones one day at a time. I wish you luck and patience!

Your not alone with this illness. Ther are many people out there that has it. I have two sister's that have and one is on here. You can look her up. Her screen name is litlefawn3 and she is really nice and will give you the infomation, that you need as well....
