Hi all

Hello. im Fred and my fiance was diagnosed with MS april 3rd, this year. We were in a way lucky as a bout of optic neritis brought her to an eye doctor who QUICKLY picked up on the possible MS link and within 3 hrs of her entering his office, we were at a nerologist. (I say lucky because we have talked with so many people who had difficulty with medical professionals not understanding MS...not because of her eventual diagnosis.) She has also been diagnosed at a point where her nerologist says there was not evidence of much legion activity in her MRI's. (is it common that MRI images are not shared with us?)
I'm not sure she will be on here in the forums much as she is overwhelmed with info and decisions etc. I have to warn u that i will be a regular here though. lol One area where i can use a lot of advice tips info is in helping her cope. I have spent more time that last month trying to educate myself to know MS and what it is capable of than i have at work prolly. (LOL, i thought i was internet savy...u all put me to shame...and i love u for it!! hehe) Like prolly everyone here i dont see my hunger for knowledge on this subsiding till they cure it and this site does a great job keeping food on the table hehe. Hopefully I'll be able to contribute but in the very least please know i will be eternally greatful for all the hard work and solid info people put into this site.
