Hi there... I was diagnosed in September after pretty severe symptoms landed me in the hospital back in May of this year. I'm still in shock and denial I think. I'm having a very hard time adjusting to the news. MRI results show very small lesions in my brain that cannot definitively be called MS lesions unless there is strong clinical correlation... what the heck does that mean? C-spine MRI shows one lesion consistent with MS. My doctor feels what I had back in May is a CIS and is pretty confident in calling it MS. She's starting me on Copaxone, the nurse is coming this weekend to show me how to administer it. I'm scared to death! Most of my symptoms are now gone with the occasional one popping up ever so slightly when I'm stressed or overheated. And since I was given the diagnosis all I've done is stress and worry and cry.
So, just wanted to say hello and was hoping to find some words of encouragement and support on here.
